Re: About RockRidge
Hi Joerg, Tks for your advice. - snip - > > My purpose using RockRidge is retaining oringal ownership and > > permission of data .. - snip - > Try man mkisofs to learn how to correctly use RR. I went through man mkisofs(8) and came to following conclusion. If the original mode of directories and files are; directory=0664 file=0664 owner and group=satimis:satimis To preserve the original state after burning, the command line will be; # mkisofs -o cd.iso -r -uid satimis -gid satimis -dir-mode 0664 -file-mode 0664 -new-dir-mode 0664 /path/to/data If I'm wrong please correct me. I'm not clear of -z option, what does it mean "transparently compressed file" and "the resulting disks are only transparently readable'? TIA B.R.

About RockRidge
Hi folks, About RockRidge == I have been searching around on "man mkzftree", "man mkisofs", etc. including googling around for examples in applying -ZF options to compress the directories and files, to create ISO image and to burn as well as to decompress the directories and files. But I could not find them. Could you please shed me some light. Pointers would be appreciated. My purpose using RockRidge is retaining oringal ownership and permission of data to solve following problem; I burnt /home/ of a FC3 box on CDs. /home/ was on its own partition. Then running LFS LiveCD I copied the CDs on a partition of a new HD which has 6 partitions. I'm prepared to build LFS-->BLFS on the new HD applying LFS LiveCD as host. Later I discovered all data after transferred from the CDs onto the partitions became "read only" and permission changed from User to Root. Now I need to reinstate their original state, i.e. Write/Read, User, etc. Either I have to do it manually or to re-burn the data from /home/ of the FC3 box onto the CDs. Could you folks on the List please shed me some light. TIA B.R. SL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just use CDRW as a big floppy disk, with DirectCD as editing software in past. It is quite convenient only with drag and drop opertaion. The CDRW can read both in M$Win98 and Linux (of course the kernel has to be recompiled). But I can't write CDRW in UDF format on Linux for such a reason I keep both OS. (Write is already labelled dangerous on Linux). At the present moment I can't do anything on Linux. What I am looking for is a solution for cross reading of the CDRW between DirectCD and Nero. Maybe I have to looking for whether there are postings on Adaptec and Nero websites Anyhow I am very appreciated for your time and effort in replying my posting. Thanks B.R.

Re: How to read CD RW created with DirectCD in Nero
Hi Mike, Thanks again for your further advice. I have no problem reading CDRW under Linux after recompiling the kernel which I did several months ago but I CAN'T WRITE CDRW under Linux. For such a reason I have to keep 2 (two) OS, Linux and M$Win98, using the latter for writing CDRW with Adapter DirectCD. The difficult story began when I recently purchase a new CDWriter. It does not support DirectCD but only running Nero therefore I am compelled to maintain 3 machines with 3 CDWriters, one on M$Win98 with DirectCD, another on M$Win98 with Nero and another on Linux with CDRoast. The CDRW created with DirectCD could not be read on the machine running Nero and vice versa because of different format. So I am now looking for a solution with a hope from the list because I have a stock CDRW having data recorded with DirectCD. What I expect is a solution for cross reading of CDRW created between DirectCD and Nero respectively Thanks B.R. Stephen - Original Message - From: "Mike A.

How to read CD RW created with DirectCD in Nero
Hi Eduardo, Thanks for your advice. On RH6.2 I have no problem reading files in CDRW edited with DirectCD running on M$Win98 but I can't read files edited with Nero running in M$Win98. It is because RH6.2 can't edit CDRW therefore I have to keep working in M$Win98 for editing CDRW. Adding to that I have 2 CDWriters of different brand both running in M$Win98 and one of them, a new one, can only run Nero. However I have stock of CDRWs storing files edited with DirectCD. To change all CDRWs in the same format shall take me lengthy time to complete. It is quite painful to me keeping 3 machines and 3 CDWriters, 2 running in M$Win98 and 1 on Linux. If there is no immediate solution to edit CDRW on Linux, I don't mind keeping 3 machines working on different OS but I am looking for a solution for cross reading and editing files in CDRW with DirectCD and Nero respectively. Can anybody throw me some light. Thanks in advance. B.R.

Anyone know the status of this? Direct CD is for handling files. It is a wonderful tool, making a CDRW as a Hard drive, copying, moving, deleting data files at your wish. I have been using it for long time without problem. It reads UDF files. Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Command_Sytax used to install BurnIT
Hi all people, What will be the correct Command/Syntax to install BurnIT-1.0.6 on RH6.2. The Install instruction is too simple and the 'help' manual is not so clear. Having made following trial without success: Have BurnIT-1.0.6 tar.gz tarball download from Internet and stored under /usr/src/ untar (without problem) cd /usr/src/BurnIT-1.0.6 # install -D install: too few arguments Try `install --help' for more information. # ./install -D bash: ./install: No such file or directory # install -D /usr/local/BurnIT install: too few arguments Try `install --help' for more information. # install -dD install: too few arguments Try `install --help' for more information. # ./install -dD /usr/local/BurnIT bash: ./install: No such file or directory # install -d /usr/local/BurnIT (an empty directory created) # ./install -D /usr/local/BurnIT bash: ./install: No such file or directory # install /usr/src/BurnIT-1.0.6 /usr/local/BurnIT install: `/usr/src/BurnIT-1.0.6' is a directory # install -dD /usr/src/BurnIT-1.0.6/cdrecord-1.6.1/ /usr/local/BurnIT no response only an empty directory /usr/local/BurnIT was created (there is a subdirectory cdrecord-1.6.1 inside) Kindly advise.

How to install samke and xcdrecod on RH 6.2
Hi all people, Have encountered following problem in installing xcdrecord. Have both smake-1.2a08.tar.gz and cdrecord-1.8.1.tar.gz download and stored under /usr/src/ (from ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/makefiles/makefiles-*) (ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/makefiles/bin/* could not find the tarball only following 3 files there: smake-i386-sunos5* smake-i586-linux* smake-sparc-sunos5* having all of them download but don't know how to use them) Untar both of them without problem. However the "INSTALL" manual of smake-1.2 looks like that one in cdrecord-1.8.1 -- under the source directory /usr/src/smake-1.2 # make(went through without problem) # make install(not advised in INSTALL manual) (no response) Cant' install the smake-1.2 -- under the source directory of /usr/src/cdrecord-1.8.1 # make (went through without problem) # smake install bash: smake: command not found (Remark: also tried "make all" but the result was the same) Kindly advise how to proceed.
