The only thing is I *think* you may have to have DVD RW's (of - or +) to have multi session support.
I think (and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798680 seems to agree) that multi-session discs will work with other OS's, but if not you could give K3B a try as multi-session discs burnt with that definetely will. However K3B is a KDE app, so you'll have to install the KDE libraries for it to work in GNOME. I think the 'Write to Disc' option in Nautilus uses nautilus-burner, and nautilus-burner doesn't support multi-session burning (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120384 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/11264). To burn an ISO to a disc from the command line, use cdrecord: e.g, cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 isofile.iso If you're not using an IDE burner you may have to change the 'dev=' bit. Contrary to the name, cdrecord does support burning DVD's. To create an iso from a disc, use dd. e.g, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=isofile.iso You could probably also swap the input and output around, and use dd if=isofile.iso of=/dev/cdrom to burn an iso to disc. I'm not sure about multi-session burning, but you could try reading the man page of cdrecord. - -- Many thanks Harry Rickards - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/GCM/GCS/GCC/GIT/GM d? s: a?
