I'd like to be Well, this has little to do with mkisofs, which just produces file system images that you're free to write to any old place, it's more a question of sending the right stuff to the drive with wormcontrol. I've never tried to do a multi-session recording myself, but I'd figure it should just be a matter of writing your images one after another (with a separate open/close for each image) and then fixating them. That'd all be in the script (in your case, you should look at the burncd script too; that explains a bit more about the steps carried out in a typical single-session burn). > Also is is possible to write the output of mkisofs directly to a cd > rather than to an intermediate file.

That would probably be difficult from a syncronization standpoint. mkisofs has a long "startup time" and you don't want to start your team process running against the CDR until you've got some actual data ready *right then* to feed it. If you did it all under the management of another process which detected when output was ready from mkisofs and knew to start the team(1) run only then, it could be done. -- - Jordan Hubbard
