Hey all. Thanks so much for dealing with my CDR woes, but I am so
close to my goal now! I compiled a new kernel, installed cdrecord
and mkisofs, and I know I can mount the drive with:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/burner
I installed cdrtoaster, which provides a pretty little interface to
the two programs above, but it isn't working. cdrecord sees the
drive, i know from doing "cdrecord -scanbus" which yields: (amongst
other things)
scsibus1:
1,5,0 105) 'SONY ' 'CD-R CDU948S ' '1.0h' Removable CD-ROM
I tried to get cdrtoaster to do this:
Make a backup CD from my /home directory. I wanted to call the CD homebackup.
It generated this:
mkisofs - joliet -volid homebackup /home | cdrecord -v -eject
dev=/dev/scd0 speed=4 -data
It didn't work. Anybody out there know why? All I want to do is
burn the whole /home folder to CD. I can figure out doing HFS stuff
and audio later, but I want some indication that it will burn
something. I am SO CLOSE....
