removeable disks

[Kyrath. (AKA Rob)]

Awesome!
I checked my fstab file and saw the cdrom entry.  It was listed as follows:

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660  noauto,owner,ro  0  0

I'm not quite sure what all of that means, but I assumed that it was using
iso9660 by default.  So I did try specifying udf as the file system and it
worked!
When I mounted the cd, linux gave me a message about it being read only.
Does anyone know if there is a way to move files to my cd?  I'm using a HP
cd writer.

Thanks for the tips.
