Aborted - This project was only ever of mild interest, as I find burning multiple sessions to be quite satisfactory. Below are some rough-ish notes.. I never actually pursued anything for this project.

How to install and configure packet writing support ∞
Rowan Klöti (rowan_at_swissonline.ch
)
It's fairly straightforward, as long as you've compiled a kernel before:
Download kernel source plus matching packet-writing patch.
Unzip and patch kernel - (for 2.4.19):
tar -xzf linux-2.4.19.tar.gz # for Gzipped source tar -xIf linux.tar.bz2 # for source that has been compressed with Bzip2 mv linux-2.4.19 linux
(so that the patch can work correctly, by default, the source tar file unzips to ./linux-[kernelversion]
, but the pktcdvd patch presumes ./linux
)
bzip2 -d packet-2.4.19-2.patch.bz2 patch -p0 < packet-2.4.19-2.patch
Configure kernel:
make menuconfig
Remember to enable pktcdvd under the 'block devices' menu, and to compile UDF with write support.
Get and compile UDFtools.
Add pktsetup /dev/cdrom /dev/pktcdvd0
somewhere to your startup scripts. (like rc.local on an RedHat system)
Add an appropriate line to fstab (/etc/fstab
)
Compile and install kernel then reboot:
make dep modules modules_install bzImage cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.19 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.19 reboot
- Modify GRUB (
grub.conf
) or LILO (lilo.conf
) and then run eithergrub
orlilo
. - Reboot
-
Run
depmod
if that has not already been done.
Once pktsetup
is run, you should get some feedback telling whether the module is working or not.
If so, try mounting a CD-R/W disc. (mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd /mnt/cdrom
as root)
