I am about to buy a CDRW drive for a Linux system and am a bit uncertain about something. I am familiar with being able to mount CDROM's from /dev/hdc, for instance, and then reading all files and directories like any normal file system. If I burn a CDRW disk, do I have to make a new image of the whole disk each time I want to add something new or delete an old file or is there some technique that resembles floppy or hard-drive access in which one simply adds new files to the system until there is no more space. I was thinking of possibly using CDRW's for backup purposes, hopefully with dump and restore. It goes without saying that I will also want to make audio CD's and CDROMS to archive my old open-reel tapes, etc. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Center for Computing and Information Services Network Operations Group
