RE: [expert] CD burning under Mandrake 7.2 rc 1

2000-10-17 Thread Mike Tracy Holt

Any other possibilities?  I am going to read
 the man and info pages on mkisofs, but I think I need to know
how it works
 within the program itself since I'm not calling it from the command line;
 does that make sense?


Try and create the image manually with mkisofs and experiment with the
command line options. AFAIK, the gui programs are only frontends to mkisofs
and sometimes don't make use of all the options. Using the example on the
cooker page is a good place to start. I routinely add -J for Windows
compatability.

Thank you!  I'm on it!

No, there's no way to get around this, because AFAIK only users with ID 0
are allowed to mount any "partition" anytime.

What I was hoping was that I could put a line in /etc/fstab with the
path to the iso image that kisocd uses (surely they should make this
standard, or allow you to cinfigure it) with 'use' as one of the
options.

Then again, I don't use kisocd that much anymore, mainly webCWriter
(http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/~jhaeger/webCDwriter/)

No, as long as the /etc/fstab has the user option specified for that
mount, any user can mount it (via KDiskFree - kdf).  If it is a vfat
mount, only that user has write permission.  Only the user that
mounted it (and root) can umount it.

Oh, didn't think about that.  You mean:

/tmp/burn/isoimage /mnt/iso iso9660 loop,noauto,user 0 0

?

Might work, but what exactly are you trying to accomplish by that?

[expert] CD burning under Mandrake 7.2 rc 1

2000-10-15 Thread Mike Tracy Holt

Hello experts,
I'm new to cd burning, so I'm wondering if this is me or the program.  I
tried to use both KisoCD and X-CD-Toaster and I get the same error:

"Warning: creating a filesystem that does not conform to ISO 9660"

My HP 8100 CD writer was found and configured on install of the system, and
both programs seem to be able to find it ok, and I'm able to set up the
files I want to burn and set the parameters that I want to use, but when I
say 'ok, burn' I get the error message.

Any ideas?  Is this a problem with mkisofs?

TIA, Mike

No problems, it just means that you are not creating and ISO image that
conforms strictly to the ISO 9660 standards, probably with nested
directories or total length of the pathname. Read man mkisofs for some of
the commands that deal with this. Certain non-conformities are not fatal.

Suppose so, yes.  With what options did you invoke mkisofs?  The newer
versions of mkisofs check harder if the image conforms to the iso9660 rules.

But you'll be able to burn it anyway, and you'll be most likely to read it
also.

Are you logging in as root, cause I believe the permissions are set so only
root can do burning.just an idea.

Ok, that makes sense; problem is that both the programs I mentioned use
mkisofs in the background and neither one gave me the option of bypassing
the warning and burning the disk anyway.  I was able to make an audio cd
today by using the cd duplicate function of xcdroast (put a music cd into
the burner, copy to hard disk, then put blank cd into burner and make the
copy).  I had to chmod 4711 on a handful of programs in order to run as
$user (mkisofs included), but it did make a good copy.  I'm wondering how
that's different from just selecting files to create a data CD?  This is
what first made me think it was the program itself, but then I received the
same error with both programs.  Any other possibilities?  I am going to read
the man and info pages on mkisofs, but I think I need to know how it works
within the program itself since I'm not calling it from the command line;
does that make sense?

Thanks again, Mike
