Date: Tue, 24 Sep 1996 08:34:43 GMT Lines: 16 Message-ID: <843554085.26934.0@loddon.demon.co.uk> NNTP-Posting-Host: loddon.demon.co.uk X-NNTP-Posting-Host: loddon.demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Apologies if I've missed the answer to the following question, but: Can a Panasonic PD Rewritable CDROM be used with FreeBSD (and/or Linux - if anyone knows) for both writing CDROMs (for backup say) and for loading FreeBSD ? I believe the latter can be done since it is simple a SCSI CDROM as fae as FreeBSD is concerned It is the backup use I am particularly internested it. Use of this media, rather than DAT tape saves me a vital bay in my already crowded system. Thanks Stuart
