as a followup, i wrote to the author of the cd-writing howto. i asked
if one wrote to a cdrw the same way one writes to a cdr. he replied
that there was no difference in writing but that the cdrw should be
blanked before rewriting.
i asked the original question because when i was in windows, i had to
use special software to write cdrw. i have now discovered, like so many
other windows products, it is unneeded.
thanks for the replies guys
:P
