i think what tet means is the burning part of the process, you can tell
mkisofs and cdrecord to burn a whole dir structure with one single
command line, (after you have sorted out your dirs and files in gmc or
konqueror for example)

linux imo makes far less cdrom beermats than windows even on really slow
machines, its windows that is your problem,

however packet writing may be your answer, also, if your redhat box with
the cdr is a different one to your windows box why do you have to reboot
it? cant you just rip the audio cd in grip? and do it all on the same
box or am i missing somthing?
