#incude <hallo.h> Many, many, many month ago i asked how i could burn a single file, comming from a Pipe, onto a CD without writing it to disk first. Someone suggested to use a FIFO. Today i tried that. mkdir testdir mkfifo testdir/testfile dd if=/dev/zero of=testdir/testfile bs=1024 count=1024 mkisofs -r [-f] -o image1.raw testdir Output is this: (mkisofs from SuSE 7.1) Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 266 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 3ba4 25 extents written (0 Mb) "ls -la" say this. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51200 Mar 31 12:48 /roast/image1.raw Output is this: (Current mkisofs from 1.10a17) Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 266 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 3404 48 extents written (0 Mb) "ls -la" say this. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 98304 Mar 31 12:59 /roast/image1.raw Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
