Yes,
you still need the kernel support for below. For writing part in
particular, not for reading. Question was if it's possible to arrange
for this *without* kerne

i want to backup my workstation (and soon my firewall remotely)
to the dvd+rw media i bought especially for that reason.
right now i use tar (for simplicity and long-term compatibility)
and growisofs like this:
/bin/tar cf - --files-from $INCLUDEFILE \
--exclude-from $EXCLUDEFIL
