Re: packet writing (CDRW) linux

Just for information, an extract of the good CD-Writing-HOWTO:

  4.12.  How to make CD-ROMs writable like a hard disk?

  There is an overlay filesystem available for Linux, which is mounted
  over the CD-ROM and intercepts all writing operations. New and
  modified files are stored elsewhere, but for the user it looks like
  the CD-ROM is modified. For more information, see
  <http://home.att.net/~artnaseef/ovlfs/ovlfs.html>.

  If that is not enough for your needs: wait for the UDF-filesystem to
  be supported by Linux or help developing it (see
  <http://trylinux.com/projects/udf/>. At the moment only reading of CD-
  media is supported due to a limitation in the CD-ROM drivers of the
  Linux kernel.
