I haven't, either. But I'd be inclined to think that it would. If your ISO file is simply an image of what is going to burnt to disc, in essence what will be streamed to the laser, then you shouldn't have to do much beyond sending the data towards the optical device. The fly in the ointment would be whether a optical burner begins burning when data is sent to it, or whether commands need issuing to it first (and it could well be that dd isn't completely dumb, nor the device handlers). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
