My twice-monthly backup (run as root) consists of creating a tar.bz and moving it to directory xfer and running (via a script)... mkisofs -R xfer | cdrecord -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 - The equivalant for your system would be... cdrecord -tao -data dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 /pkg.iso I wonder if the "--dev" in your invocation is throwing it off. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
