Table: CD−writers supported under Linux
The detailed list of models which have been reported to work or not to work under various Unix−like
operating systems is available online from http://www.guug.de:8080/cgi−bin/winni/lsc−orig.pl.
If your hardware isn't supported you can still use Linux to create an image of the CD. You may wish to do so
because most burning software for DOS does not deal with RockRidge−extensions (Unix−like filesystems on
CD−ROM). In a second step, you can use DOS or Macintosh software to write the image to the CD−R.
1.6 Supported "features"
Two There are two classes of utilities: the hardware drivers and the data−formatters. The hardware drivers
support the following features:

Table:
cdwrite is unmaintained software referenced only for completeness. Please use cdrecord instead, as it
supports a wider range of hardware and has significantly more features. The main benefit of cdrdao is the
ability to create audio CDs without two seconds of silence between the tracks (writing in disk−at−once
(DAO) mode).
The tools classified as "data−formatters" organize the data on the media ("put a filesystem on it").
