Hi steef,

no problem for the adding of data (at least from what the documentation
says, I haven't tried it myself). From the man page:


To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge
extensions on a DVD:

   growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files

To append more data to same DVD:

   growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files

Make sure to use the same options for both inital burning and
following sessions.

To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:

   growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso


As you can see, extremely easy. Not even the need to make an iso anymore.

King regards
