Again you really don't want to try this. There are some packet writting
programs for winblows, but I don't know about Linux. All the same, you
loose a lot of space when using packet writting software. With the size of
a hard drive today I can't understand why you would be concerned about
recording to the drive then transfering to CD. To buy a new drive taht is
so small as to make this a problem would cost more then buying a 20GB
drive with loads of space.
