On some other unices, it is possible to mount each of the sessions on
a multi-session CDROM separately (notably, solaris does this with
some of their instalation disks -- one session is a dummy root file
system, another is the packages to install, etc.).
I can create such disks on linux using cdrecord and they are mountable
as described above on solaris. However, I have R'ed TFM, and the docs
in /usr/doc, and (some of) the source code, and I am *still* trying
to figure out if it is possible to mount anything besides the first
session on a multi-session CDROM under linux.
Has anyone done this -- if so could you please pass along the
options/trick to me? Thanks in advance
