<title>Introduction to 
<application><acronym>UDF</acronym>tools</application></title>

<para>The <application><acronym>UDF</acronym>tools</application> package 
contains utilities for creating and mounting 
<acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> disks with
<acronym>UDF</acronym> file systems for both
reading and writing. <acronym>UDF</acronym> files systems are used on
both <acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> media and
on <acronym>DVD</acronym>.  For more details of the
<acronym>UDF</acronym> file system standard see:

<warning>
<para>Note that this patch can permanently damage your <acronym>CD</acronym> 
drive if it is from one of the few mentioned at 
<ulink url="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/25/1737244"/>. Do
not apply the patch without first checking out the article.</para>
</warning>

<para>Install the kernel patch by running the following commands from
the kernel source directory:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>bzcat ../packet-2.6.8-2.patch.bz2 |patch -Np1</command></userinput></screen>

<para>In the kernel configuration, modify your settings to match those listed
here:</para>

<screen>Block devices
    Packet writing on CD/DVD media:       Y or M
CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems
    UDF file system support               Y or M</screen>

<para>Recompile and install the new kernel.</para>

<!--
<para>If you built packet writer as a module, add the following to
<filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename>:</para>

<screen><userinput>alias block-major-97 pktcdvd</userinput></screen>

<para>Finally, create the packet driver device nodes in <filename
class="directory">/dev</filename>, add one node for every
<acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> drive you
want to support:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>mknod /dev/pktcdvd0 b 97 0
mknod /dev/pktcdvd1 b 97 1</command></userinput></screen>
