Burning cd's

[Gogeta_44]

Does anyone know how to burn .iso's to disks in linux or a good app to do so.

I use xcdroast on RH9 with KDE. No complaints.

[Gogeta_44]

I have gnome not kde

[bsm2001]

xcdroast will work in gnome also

Not really. You have console access in RH9 such that...

this will work just fine.

You might want to 'man cdrecord' to see how easy it really is. IMHO, it's a bit faster too.

[edit]
As has been mentioned already, if you just don't want to deal with the console to burn CDs, then XCDRoast will work for you.
It's on your RH9 CD set.

To clear the contents of CD-RW:
cdrecord --dev=0,0,0 --blank=fast

burn the ISO to CD-R:
cdrecord --dev=0,0,0 name.iso

Copy using Disk-at-Once
cdrdao copy --device 0,0,0

Burn Audio CDs from .wav
cdrecord -v speed=X dev=0,0 -pad -audio track*.wav

Burn Data CDs without tempory storage
mkisofs -v -J -r srcdir | cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0 -

Burn ISO image to disk
cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=0,0,0 imagefile.iso

cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=0,0,0 imagefile.iso

Those qualify as my two favorites. :D

Good thread, great advice. I actually prefer command line now. :) Every day, I learn a little more... ^_^

...like my sig doesn't support html. :D

[mborrill]

is there a cmd for creating a video cd ?;-)

I'm a complete newbie at Linux.

In what directory do you type those, and do any of those characters need to be replaced with something else?

fyi:

for the first three commands, you can do them anywhere.

the last 3 ones; you have to do it in the fdirectory hat the audio file or the ISO you're burning is in.


say you wanna burn mandrake9 [and file's name is mandrake9.iso ]

replace imagefile.iso with mandrake9.iso

the .iso stays there, but the imagefile is the name of whatever you wanna burn.

[check out the info in my signature, it will help ya a lot !]

Okay Stupid Boy, :)

You should type them in the directory the iso is located in.

The cdrecord and mkisofs binaries will (should) be in your $PATH, so they can be run from anywhere.

You will need to replace speed=X with the speed of your drive (i.e. speed=40). Actually, you can probably omit speed= altogether, as cdrecord will then use the default speed for your drive, which 99% of the time is what you want.

And of course replace name.iso with the name of the real iso file.

Ahhh...I like the command line. You don't expect your system to crash like you do with Windoze. I still think that Mac OS X is the best OS for burning CDs, but it sucks at everything else.
