Eric Jackson I know there was a project to develop full udf support for linux but I believe it was discontinued. At least that was the situation about a year ago. Don't remember the details and haven't checked since. Cheers, Graham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] using k3b to append files to a cd -rw
I guess you've to write them in multisession style. But it seems that K3B has its difficulty with this kinda multisession feature although it claims it support this feature. Once I tried to burn a CD this way but I failed. SOme other guys on this list also suggest this, if I don't have a bad memory. You may try XCDRoaster as well. HTH, Q.H.

[newbie] using k3b to append files to a cd -rw
Hi, I am pretty new to burning CD’s. I was wondering if there is a way to use k3b (or some other tool) to append files to a cd-rw. I thought this would be easy, but if I drag and drop a new file onto a cd-rw it wants to erase the disk first. Any suggestions? Thanks, R Haynes Dr. Ronald Haynes Mathematics and Statistics Acadia University HSB 153
