Hi Folks,
I'm experimenting with gtoaster (can use xcdroast OK but interested by this other program).
All I'm trying to do at the moment is to write a backup copy of my home directory ( /home/ted ) to CD.
However, I'm up against a blank wall at one point, and I'd be grateful if anyone can help me past it.
1. Startup gtoaster -- OK 2. In top left-hand panel, click "+" of "Unix Tree" to expand it -- OK 3. Click on "+" of "home" to expand it -- OK 4. "Drag&drop" "ted" into borrom RH panel -- OK (list of files flashes by) 5. Bottom LH panel has an item "CDROM" whose "+" expands to "ted" which in turn expands to the files in /home/ted.
So far so good, apparently.
However, at the bottom is "Fillstate 0MB/ 746<B" and there seems to be nothing I can do to get it to recognise that there's 488MB in the filesystem /home/ted. Also, on the lower RH panel, all it says is "ted 4096 bytes" which is just the size of the directory stub itself, not of its contents.
Gtoaster will now allow me to write a CD, but all it contains is the directory stub.
So that's my blank wall: I want to climb past this so that it actually writes the files under /home/ted to the CD, and I can't for the life of me see what the trick is! Nor does the documentation help.
gtoaster-1.0beta6 on Red Hat 9.1
So all suggestions gratefully received. Best wishes to all, Ted.
