Burning ISO

[sn0wflake]

How do I burn an ISO file in Linux. I've searched in this forum and can only find references to Nero and Roxio. Both of these are Windows applications

knoppix comes with k3b. To find it go to:
Kstart/Multimedia/K3b

To burn iso:
tools/cd/burn iso

cdrecord is a console aplication for burning cd's in linux.
a short example how to make CD's with CD-Record
First you you get the number on the SCSI bus with

cdrecord --scanbus

output is something like

# cdrecord --scanbus
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.30
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus3:
3,0,0 300) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-S2410T' '1.00' Removable CD-ROM
3,1,0 301) *

that means i can do

cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=3,0,0 /search/path/to/cd.iso

to burn that iso.
k3b is juat a graphical way of using cdrecord and mkisofs and a few other programes...

I use cdrecord too only I use it in a script called burn:

#!/bin/sh
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb driveropts=burnfree,noforcespeed fs=14M speed=16 -dao -eject -overburn -v "$1"

Just edit it for your drive specifications, chmod +x burn and put it in your PATH somewhere like /usr/bin. Than just do this:

burn /path/to/knoppix.iso

voila! I'd love to see anyone in wondows get a cd burning faster than that.

*HINT* be sure to use the -dao option for cdrecord so you can still check md5sum of cd itself.
