What do you Debian users think is the best solution? If you want similiar syntax to cdrecord, dvdrtools has it--but it's non-free so make of that what you will. Since you're new to Debian, I don't know if you know how to enable 'non-free' (or 'contrib'), to do so edit '/etc/apt/sources.list' and append 'contrib non-free' (mind the hyphen) to your 'deb ....' and 'deb-src ....' lines. But I'd try dvd+rw-tools first, as free is better ;) -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "When anyone says `theoretically,' they really mean `not really.'" -- David Parnas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
