Is anyone familiar with how to do this? A. Goal: archive cd media with a tool which provides these capabilities ---- 1. Copy data to hard disk; 2. Copy (stream?) data from hard disk to cd media while "spanning" data across multiple cd's, prompt's user for input (insert cd #1, #2, #3,...etc.; 3. Performs bit-by-bit verification of data to insure data integrity; 4. "Bonus" => copy protect media to prevent unauthorized distribution, i.e. make all available data 'read-only'. note: None of the data files are executable (no need for user to install, etc.). Disk(s) do NOT need to be bootable. Any wizards out there?? TIA ----robert Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!!Registered Linux User #356732 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
