*.raw

I noticed on the debian website that you can download unofficial cd images for woody and sid. The files are have an extension .raw. Is this like an .iso file? Can I just burn it to cd and get the file structure desired or do I have to convert a raw file to an iso? I tried google, and a forum search, and came up with a ton of stuff but nothing that was really clear. My forum seach didn't even work, it just gave me some error. Any info would be appreciated.

Yes the .raw images are similar to an ISO, just burn them as you normally would.


prompt# cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 imagename.raw

There are other specifics detailed in the cdrecord manpage, give it a read.

Thanks, I had read the man page for cdrecord, and I feel comfortable with it. I just wasn't familiar with the .raw extension.
