As long as you have the dvd+rw-tools installed, creating a New DVD Project works perfectly well - unless you have some need you didn't mention? Anne
Nah. The suggestions so far pretty much covered it. I was hoping for something that would create a loop back image in the form of a file that I could just mount and backup the files to , maintaining perms and datetimes - then burn to a cd, which I could mount and then mount the encrypted fs from. I will settle for just taring and burning to a regular dvdr. Thanks. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
