It can be done, I've never tried it, so I don't know if it's really
a good idea or not. According to the CD-Writing howto, you can pipe
the output of mkisofs to cdrecord, like so:
shell> IMG_SIZE=`mkisofs -R -q -print-size private_collection/ 2>&1 \
| sed -e "s/.* = //"`
shell> echo $IMG_SIZE shell> [ "0$IMG_SIZE" -ne 0 ] \
&& mkisofs -r private_collection/ \
|cdrecord speed=2 dev=0,6,0
tsize=${IMG_SIZE}s -data -
#Don't forget the s --^ ^-- read data from STDIN
The success of this depends greatly on the speed of your machine. You
definitely won't want to run any hard-disk intensive process while this
is going on.
Hope this helps.
