23<p>The udftools package contains utilities for creating and mounting
24CD-RW disks with udf filesystems for both reading and writing.&nbsp;
25Udf filesystems are used on both CD-RW media and on DVD.&nbsp; For more
26details of the udf filesystem standard see:&nbsp; http://www.osta.org
27and http://www.ecma.org</p>
28<p>[Note: these instructions have only been tested for CD-RW media]<br>
29</p>
30<p>The kernels in 2.4 series include the drivers for reading udf
31filesystems on CD-RW media, but packet-writing is not fully functional,
32so a patch must be installed on the kernel to update the packet-writing
33subsystem.&nbsp; The patch for linux-2.4.20 can be downloaded from:
34http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.4/packet-2.4.20.patch.bz2</p>
35<div class="sect2">
36<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN13765">Installation of the kernel patch<br>
37</a></h2>
38<p>Download and unpack the patch, and change to the kernel source
39directory to patch the kernel with the following command:<br>

41<table border="0" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" width="100%">

50<br>
51In the kernel configuration, check your settings with those listed here:<br>
52<br>
53<table border="0" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" width="100%">

63Now recompile the kernel<br>

77Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and
78/usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot, edit /etc/lilo.conf appropriately
79and run lilo.<br>
80If you build the packet writer as a module, add the following to
81/etc/modules.conf:<br>

92Finally, create the packet driver device nodes in /dev, add one node
93for every CD-RW drive you want to support:<br>

122<p>The udftools package contains the utility needed to set up and break
123down connections between a kernel packet driver and a CD-RW disk drive,
124the udf filesystem tool, and a utility to manage CD-RW drives.&nbsp;

170with a udf filesystem.<br>
171pktsetup&nbsp; /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0: associates the physical device
172/dev/scd0 with the kernel packet driver /dev/pktcdvd0.<br>
173mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime: mounts a udf
174formatted CD-RW for read/write access. See man mount for details of the
