FreeBSD DVD

But nobody is saying "there should be no CDs .. it's DVDs or nothing!".

I wasn't suggesting they were, just stating my preference for having a lightweight alternative :) Newcomers, like myself, will almost always go for the DVD if available - 'better safe than sorry' - despite the fact it's overkill for most situations.

There you go .. :)

Oooh, nice - RC1! 7.1 gets closer and closer... :)

man 8 burncd

The typical usage for burning from a compressed image file on stdin:

gunzip -c file.iso.gz | burncd -f /dev/acd0 data - fixate

burncd is able to burn DVD's?
The man page says that it does. And thanks for pointing out my idiocy. I was having a hard time figuring out why burncd wouldn't burn the disc. Or you could use dvd+rw-tools.
