We use mkisofs and cdwrite with a yamaha 102 (about $600). Once you make the iso image you can mount it up using -loop and give it a try before you use cdwrite. Also you direct the output of mkisofs to a partition and mount this up without using -loop ( this is useful for testing out distributions like debian before we burn the CD) mkisofs -o /mnt/deb.iso -R -P lsl /mnt/distributions/debian cdwrite -s 2 -D /dev/sgc --yamaha /mnt/deb.iso If you don't have a CDROM burner but do have a 4mm or 8mm tape you can direct the output to the tape and send this off to the CDROM plant ... We did this for our first 5 or 10 CDs back when the burners were ~ $4000. -Dan Linux System Labs http://www.lsl.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
