Re: [newbie] packetCD

Mandrake 9.0 can't read my packetCD, but this probably has to do with the 
fact that I used packetCD compression, and all the files on the CD appear in 
Mandrake as programs (cogwheels), with question marks behind them.
Thanx

Can't be done yet.  It is experimental in the 2.5.x kernel right now.

Not so. I've been doing this since MDK 7.2 at least.

Up until 8.2 I'd mount them from the command line with: mount -t udf 
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom.

However, in MDK9 (which I've only been using for a couple of weeks) they 
seem to mount automatically.

Writing to them is a different kettle of worms altogether.  So far as I 
know it can't be done yet.  This is a shame because it's one of the very 
few things that forces me to keep Windoze on my system - well, that and 
lack of support for my scanner.
