It was simply the next alternative to wom (Writes Optical Media) + which was unfortunately already used by other software products. + +Q: What this name of ... mean? +A: Terminology: some names are based on pure imagination, some on + abbreviations, some on permutations of chars in descriptions. + + genisoimage: Generate ISO IMAGEs + icedax: InCrEdible Audio eXtractor + librols: LIB Remains Of LibSchily + libusal: LIB Unified/Universal Scsi Access Layer + netscsid: NET SCSI Daemon + readom: READ Optical Media (see also wodim) + wodim: see above + +Q: Are there additional depedencies, compared to cdrtools? +A: Yes. Libcap is required on Linux plattform. Libmagic is needed to support + content-based creator/type tables with HFS (optional). Libiconv is needed to + support iconv-based filename converstion, eg. from UTF-8 ins Joliet's UCS-2 + unicode (optional, on plattform where iconv is not already included in the libc + system library). + +Q: Burning dies with (logical unit communication crc error (ultra-dma/32)). + Reason? Solutions? +A: Try enabling DMA for your device. Some CDROM readers/writters seem to send + non-critical UDMA control/error codes without beeing in DMA mode and so + those messages are not interpreted by the kernel but delivered to the + applications instead. |
