New to Linux-kvm site.

But I've been running CentOS 5.4 and 5.5 with kvm for over a year now. Have figured out how to get the WinXP guest to read/write to a usb thumbdrive, but powers to be want everything written to a cd/dvd that can be scanned for malicious code on a stand-alone machine before the data is used outside of a confined VM. That policy also rules out creating a physical ntfs partition or using samba in the host.

Anyone know how to get the kvm guests to write to a cd/dvd on the host?
