For instance growisofs -Z /dev/dvd <some mkisofs options> foo to write on that device the content of directory foo. I often used <some mkisofs options> such as -max-iso9660-filenames . I hope I remember well the syntax, since it lasts some month from the last use :)) Cheers SteX -- Stefano Melchior, GPG key = D52DF829 - <stefano.melchior@openlabs.it> http://etinarcadiaego.dyndns.org -- http://www.stex.name
