It is cludge work arround for Joliet extension to ISO9660 file system. (UDF is used on DVD not CD.) Also, you can't overwrite anything unless you format the entire disk. What happens when you put down a new file is the table of contents point to the new version while the old version remains there. The process of writting at will is known as packet writting and I don't know if Linux has such software. As for using CDRW under linux, there is an option in cdrecord to format the disk before writting. This will erase the previous sesions and restart the disk fresh. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
