    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
