Good point. I forgot about that option. Just a question. What does
mkisofs do? As I understood it mkisofs creates a iso9660 image?
>From the manpage:
"mkisofs is effectively a pre-mastering program to generate
the iso9660 filesystem - it takes a snapshot of a given
directory tree, and generates a binary image which will
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
correspond to an iso9660 filesystem when written to a
block device."
So what
mkisofs -R /master/tree | cdrecord -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=2,0
does is piping an image to cdrecord.
That is what I meant by saying you can not write a CD without an
image.
Or am I still wrong on this one?
