Hi,
You need to check the packet-writing docs. I don't know whether it supports
parallel-port drives offhand (parport/packet-cd collaboration opportunity?
:-) but _if_ it does, (in a nutshell) you'll need to apply the appropriate
patch to your kernel, configure with packet-writing support, compile,
install, reboot, install the udftools package, format a CD-RW disc with
'cdrwtool -d /dev/pcd0 -q', setup the pktcdvd device with something like
'pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/pcd0' then mount the pktcdvd0 device somewhere.
And praying a bit might help too.
Seriously, though, if the documentation doesn't help you, the packet-writing
mailing list <packet-writing@suse.com> might be able to enlighten you. You
can subscribe from the packet-cd site.
Regards,
Stephen
