Question: Currently, I use Linux partitions hdc5 and hdc6. I wish to download a File to my Linux partition /hdc7. How can I choose and download to this partition ?
Answer: Make sure the partition you want to save on is mounted and then just point the program you're using to download (browser?) to the mount point of this partition. To download to your Windows partition, this would be /mnt/windows/ for example (see entry in fstab for the mount points). Saving files on vfat partitions is totally harmless, you can safely do it.
Question: I was not allowed to download to the vfat partition (even as root) or change the permissions as root (this was discussed before). Wish there was a way around this.
Answer: Make sure the parameter "ro" does not appear in the line(s) of your fat-drive(s) in /etc/fstab - I hope you didn't try this already as I do not know the other thread you mentioned.
As for 'writing on the fly', that's not so much an issue of having the right burner (only the very first generation of burners doesn't support it if I remember correctly), but more of the machine as a whole. If your computer is really, really slow and you're also doing other things with it while burning, the chance of having a buffer underrun are higher when writing on the fly. In 99.999999% of all cases, it'll work fine, though.
