Hi!
Ok, so there is this totally suck program in winbloze called DirectCD. It's a program that's sets up a CDRW (well you could use CDR, but this would normally be something you'd use a CDRW for...) sort of like another drive, and then you simply drag and drop files onto this new drive. It writes them as you drag and drop em, basically like copying to another partition.
This might sound like a good idea, and it is, but stupid Adaptec (the co who makes that crap) makes it proprietary software. So if you wanna read that data after it's been written to the disc in that fashion, you have to install a program that is included on the disc onto your computer (if you don't already have it, or DirectCD installed that is).
Anyway, onto my question now that I have complained a bit
Is there something like this in Linux? Where I could mount (or not, that really wouldn't matter) a blank disc on say /mnt/cdrom and then simply copy files over to it: cp /home/user/files/* /mnt/cdrom (Or without a mount: cp /home/user/files/* /dev/cdrw) and then have them written to the disc as I copy them over?
This would be something I'd find useful on a few of the drives I am looking at, mainly the DVD-R drive
Anyway, thanks for any ideas, or links or whatever.
Cool
