CDfs: http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/ This neat piece of work will allow you (if you mount the CD as "-t cdfs") to look at the various tracks on a CD or CD-ROM. If it's an audio CD, you'll get a bunch of track-*.wav files. If it's a CD-ROM, you'll get one (or more, if it's multi-session) ISO 9660 filesystem image. If it's a bootable CD-ROM, you'll get the ISO 9660 image and the bootable floppy image. Suppose you're missing the little audio cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card and want to play an audio CD. (Or your components don't handle that particular D/A conversion well.) Mount your audio CD as type CDfs and run a standard wav player on the resulting files. Or... I usually copy a CD-ROM with the dd command. I've noticed, though, that it doesn't work too well on a CD-R that I've burned. I imagine (I haven't tried this yet) that I could mount it as type CDfs and just copy the filesystem image. Anyway, it's a pretty neat little module. I think Mental pointed it out to me first. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire! See http://www.billjonas.com/resume.html Attachment:
