hi,

I'm new to Gentoo and linux so I don't know if this question is n00b or not. I have a Gentoo server with a dvd-writer. I want to use this burner over a network to my Windows XP pc. Is it possible to mnt the writer in linux and use it in my windows pc?

gr,

Remco

I think it's highly unlikely you can share the burning part over samba.

What you can do however is that in windows you burn your dvd to an image, which you then put (via samba on your linux computer)
then with a remote ssh-login you can burn this image with one command.

And if even that is too much work, you can write a small script which automatically burns images when they appear in a certain designated directory, than it almost looks like you're burning your dvd from windows on your linux computer.

No i've manage to setup a remote cd burning system with linux before it would allow me to burn cd over the network thourgh a web interface or java applet to send the image or stuft over to the server and burn it.. Ima look for the link hold on..

thanks for the reply. The thing is that i'm not using a GUI for gentoo so everything is commandline-based. I need a tool like webCDwriterbut then commandline only. I hope i'm making any sence to you guys:P
