Is there anyway to do this? i have a machine that runs gentoo, is there a way that I can allow it to use my burner from it?

Thanks

You can send the ISO or whatever you need to burn over to the computer with the burner via ssh or something.

im talking about burning over the network, like pop a cd in, then go to the other coputer and start up a GUI of some sort

If it's audio cd's try this http://www.yty.net/h/audiocd/
otherwise I have seen such a solution try freshmeat or something

There are options in the ssh configurtion files for X11 forwarding or something like that. That will allow you to use a GUI on a remote machine. I would search the forums or read the documentaion for ssh to do the X11 forwarding.

I personally just use the console, ssh, and cdrecord to do remote cd buning.

I used to do it the other way around.

Have one computer have the iso/wavs/whatever, nfsmount to the burner machine, burn at the burnermachine using ssh login.

If you want GUI, you should have that installed on the burnermachine, and do X11 display forwarding.

I don't think you can have the burning app on another machine as it has to send SCSI commands directly to the hardware, and AFAIK there is no way to do that.

Although I think it should be possible to let xcdrecord (or any other frontends) on the burnerless machine use the cdrtools on the burnermachin using ssh/rsh. Should be serious playing around with the xcdrecord configuration though.
