Success, at least for what you were asking it to do, and that is to write a file named README onto a disk. Never mind that the disk doesn't have a filesystem and the README file is just a file and not a filesystem, just write it to the disk. Which it looks like it did just that. You've now got yourself a perfectly usable dring coaster to place beside your monitor as that's all it's really good for at this point. Sarcasm aside, you really should have built an iso-based filesystem with README on it, then burn the resulting file to the disk. The man page for cdrecord has the details from building mkisofs followed by cdrecord. Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
