samba - Nov 2002 - Writing CD on Samsung SW-248 Writer

Hi!
    I have just purchased a new Samsung CD-Writer SW-248. I would like to
make it shareable so that it is visible to me via another computer having
Windows as the Burning software is available for windows only.

    Is the above setup possible or do I have to do anything to make the
above setup possible?

Thanx for the help

Gagneet

Not (currently) with samba AFAIK, since the kernel doesn't support
packet writing yet. You should look at webCDwriter:

http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/jhaeger/webCDwriter/

We use it very successfully, we (about 60 users total) have written over
133GB on 400CDs in less that 2 years on one really old machine.

Maybe this needs to be an FAQ??
