CD-RWs are great if you need to take a lot of software with you, for instance to show your friend. You can also burn it with some MP3s and use it in an MP3 capable CD-player, not worrying about that you waste spae with songs you won't want to listen to later. My noname CD-RW is readable by all the CD-ROM drives I tried it in and it works fine, as opposed to a Verbatim CD-RW which just won't work with my CD-RW drive. (Can be drive's fault, of course, but the drive works with everything else.) And last but in no way least I think CD-RW is going to replace traditional 3.5 diskettes. Concerning the original post I think multisession is the best way but you cannot add files to a non-multisession CD. >> From Tom's examples, I derived the following two key lines >> which I put in a shell script that I named "burncd" >> >> mkisofs -r -o cdimage /home/joe/data >> cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0 cdimage >> >> But I had to omit the word "eject" because I got this error message: >> >> cdrecord: No such file or directory.

For some reason usin '-eject' with a cdrecord > operation always works with my burner, cdrom2. Gotta be hardware I think the reason is that it should be -eject, not eject. HTH Roman
