Yes you can. But at your own risk. The trick is to get both UDF and
packet-writing to work on you system. I don't know if there's any other
method of writing a UDF filesystem on a CDRW, but there's a
packet-writing mailing list available from a pretty respectable address:
packet-writing@suse.com.
The list might be subscription only. But I find this on the list sig:
