This is for joshua neff. I can't copy from another Evolution window, and can't reply to a digest....it's too long and gets chopped on the reply. Here's an example that I used the other day to create a backup of some files. Safest to do this as root. $ cdrecord driveropts=burnfree gracetime=20 dev=0,0,0 backup.iso driveropts=burnfree -- tells cdrecord to use hardware buffer underrun which my CD burner supports. gracetime=20 -- Wait 20 seconds before you begin burning. If you want to bail out before you waste a CD, press CONTROL-C. dev=0,0,0 -- This is the SCSI address for my CD burner. Yours might be different. Try 'cdrecord -scanbus' if you don't know what to use here. backup.iso -- The ISO image file to burn onto CD. Erik
