cdrtools is a package which includes cdrecord. Or, the other way 'round, cdrecord is a part of cdrtools package.

If you have re-writable media, there's a packet driver for it in recent kernels, and it is possible to (indirectly) mount and use a cdrw device as normal block device. Ofcourse it'll only work for data "tracks", not for audio disks. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
