It's fairly straightforward to do (if you're used to Unix), and the procedure is quite flexible. The burn took place in multiuser mode with X running (thanks to the realtime scheduling facility). The source was a 4x CDROM, and the burn was done at 2x (the CD copied was full of free unix source, so no copyrights were violated). Of course now that these drives are cheap, my plan to go into the CD premastering business is shot, but oh well. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | <tap> Nondescript 6431392 URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ |
