Actually growisofs *uses* mkisofs to do its data formatting. You do not escape mkisofs by using growisofs. You merely hide some of its power and flexibility (in return for very considerable convenience). ... -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
