Burning an ISO from command prompt

[Jeepsta]

Is there a way to burn an ISO image to CD from the command prompt. I know you can burn files using CDRecord but can it do an ISO as well. If so how would I do this?

Thanks in advance,

i believe you can. I burnt an iso using a graphical client, (i don't remember it's name, but it's a biggie) and it was just a front end for cdrecord

All you'd need to know were the commands it did, and it would do the same thing... after all, that's what a frontend does... just types the commands for ya

Try cdrtoaster it gives you the console command before you burn a cd.

Read the help for cdrecord.

I would read the help for CDRecord but I dont have linux installed right now. I will be installing it again later tonight so I can read it then. I was just wondering for future reference. Thanx for the help.

try this as root
$ cdrecord -r -i -speed<your speed here>
-dev<your device's address here>
/home/DaN/blahblah.iso

run as root
$ cdrecord --scanbus
to figure out your device's address

this should work, if it doesn't change the
"-i" to "-o" I couldn't remember which one it is...

Doing nothing is entirely under-rated.

You could browse over to linuxdoc.org and read the HOW-TO's on CD Recording etc. Lots of good info there including everything you want to know about cdrecord. You actually don't need Linux installed to read all the documentation.

Also do a web search for 'cdrecord'.

Hope this helps...

Thanx for the link to linuxdoc.org. I will read up on it.

this is how i usually do it:

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sg0 speed=4 -data <filename>.iso

that's it.
