If you have a few discs that are busy (often rewrites) you might consider building the iso image(s) on your hard drive (if you have enough free space.) When you need to make a change, it would be simply a matter of mounting them, adding/deleting files then burning the image, which shouldn't take a horribly long time with today's quick 12x & 16x burners.

Making the ISO image,

*mkisofs -o My_CD_Image.iso -l -R cd_directory

*(1) Creating a Rock-Ridge ISO-image (with long filename support) from a directory:

*mount My_CD_Image.iso /ISO_Image_Directory -o loop -t iso9660*

(2) Mount the image, edit/delete/add files/etc, umount then burn it.

Once thats done, its as easy as burning the image with cdrecord.. ( I haven't done any rewriting on cdr's, cant help much there.)

Does anyone have any idea how to mount a CD-RW as a read-write filesystem
like I can on my Windows boxes? I would like to be able to drop a CD-RW in
the drive and write files to it (and delete files from it) for backup
purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
