Like all my development code in ~/devel, and all my music mp3's and ogg's in ~/Music, and all my online and mp3 books from libribox.org in ~/readings. There are PDF files and HTML and a slew of other stuff. Can I use K3B or some other GUI program to create a filesystem on either a few CD's or one DVD? Right now, I'm cross-backing up stuff to four live servers. It's just data, but I would like to be able to inset it into my optical tray, cd to it and cd to wherever and read or listen to AND (if some disaster strikes) be able to copy my files from the disc to the computer. I think I figured out how to create a tiny filesystem on a floppy disc, but this was a Long time ago. Anything "push-button"? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 2.23a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
