However, the short answer is it is not a good idea to directly write to optical media this way. Though manufacturers quote values that you get away with 1000s of writes on a CD/RW, the practical answer seems to be more in the 100s of writes. The CD will probably fail quite quickly. An alternative that might be useful is to set up a virtual mount to an image and only burn the image when you finished with it. At the moment I know of no tool (with the possible exception of K3b) can set up and manage such a configuration. I have no experience of using this kind of mount, others may be able to help with this aspect. I have a feeling a daemon to setup and manage this kind of virtually mounted CD/DVD image might be rather useful if it does not exist already. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
