Well, now I'm stuck again. The link mentioned that the CD ROM needs to be set as the Primary Master device in order to be recognized. The drive in this server is a Panasonic Model No. UJDA780 which does not have jumper to set master/slave. I only have one IDE connector on the motherboard that is the size to fit the CD ROM cable, the other port is for a floppy drive which I do not have. In CMOS my device comes up as the IDE Primary Slave, and if I try to force a change there, then the drive does not function at boot up. I am going to scrounge through my old parts to see if I have a usable drive that has the jumpers on it, but is there any other solution? I have a USB CD ROM drive, but I think I'll have the same problem because it won't be recognized as the IDE Primary Master. If you have other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate! Thanks.

As far as I know unix doesn't store file creation dates.
Would that imply the following?

is equal to:
tar -cvzf backup.tar --newer-mtime ? (1 Reply)

sdl_cdopen
SDL_CDOpen(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CDOpen(3)
NAME
SDL_CDOpen - Opens a CD-ROM drive for access.
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_CD *SDL_CDOpen(int drive);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a CD-ROM drive for access. It returns a SDL_CD structure on success, or NULL if the drive was invalid or busy. This newly opened CD-
ROM becomes the default CD used when other CD functions are passed a NULL CD-ROM handle.
Drives are numbered starting with 0. Drive 0 is the system default CD-ROM.
EXAMPLES
SDL_CD *cdrom;
int cur_track;
int min, sec, frame;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
/* Check for CD drives */
if(!SDL_CDNumDrives()){
/* None found */
fprintf(stderr, "No CDROM devices available
");
exit(-1);
}
/* Open the default drive */
cdrom=SDL_CDOpen(0);
/* Did if open? Check if cdrom is NULL */
if(!cdrom){
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open drive: %s
", SDL_GetError());
exit(-1);
}
/* Print Volume info */
printf("Name: %s
", SDL_CDName(0));
printf("Tracks: %d
", cdrom->numtracks);
for(cur_track=0;cur_track < cdrom->numtracks; cur_track++){
FRAMES_TO_MSF(cdrom->track[cur_track].length, &min, &sec, &frame);
printf(" Track %d: Length %d:%d
", cur_track, min, sec);
}
SDL_CDClose(cdrom);
