Anythning Wrong With These Commands

[rtrahan]

If I download an .iso to my Desktop and want to burn it so that it will boot.

First move it to my /home directory.

$ sudo mkisofs -o home.iso /home {to create a ISO9660 Image}

$ isoinfo -d -i home.iso {when I did this it said Hierarchical File}

cdrecord -v -eject home.iso {burn to cd rom}

It worked before but not now so I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong this time..I've read over the instructions quite a few times.
If the command's are good then it was a bad download?

Thanks in advacne

If you have downloaded an ISO, why are you trying to do the first command to turn it into an ISO?

If you want to know if you have a good download, check the md5 checksum.

If you just want to get a good download, use the BitTorrent protocol instead of a mirror and be sure to let the download finish (don't stop it manually as soon as you see the 100% figure).
