[wplug] Writing non-iso CD's

[Coutch, Robert]

Does the file have to be the exact same size as the CD?

Your script file allocated 700 1024K blocks (I'm assuming for a 700MB CD-R).

If I write a small test file (1-2 Meg) this should be OK, right?

I'm going to test this out again later this week or over the weekend.
Too busy right now to try it out.


Thanks,

Bob

It burnt the raw tar image to CD.  cdrecord burns images, doesn't do
anything fancy.  I would not be able to untar it from the device
directly, either, if it was really a filesystem.
