The only thing I know how to do is:
dir S: /s /a
then minimize the cmd window until the activity on the CD stops. The dir
goes faster if it doesn't have to display the resulte, although it still
takes a while.

The eCS 2.0 Beta 4 CD shows:

Total files listed:
11,178 file(s) 744,476,223 bytes used
0 bytes free

This is on a CD (TDK CD-R, 80 min) rated at 700 MB! Looks like eCS 2.0
will have to be split onto 2 CDs or a DVD. The iso is 715,128,832 bytes.

Any other ideas welcome.

Are other types of media better? I am using mostly Plextor drives, SCSI,
IDE, and SATA. The one on my T42p is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-812.
