Help wiith CD burning

[Jim Hogarth]

I've downloaded the Knoppix iso and tested it with MD5Sum and it's OK. However everytime I try to burn it to a CD using xcdroast or gcombust, the CD ends up mostly blank (I think). A boot from the CD give a partial load and then stops, with the error message that it cannot find the CD file system.

I can create CDs such as backups, so I know it works OK.

Are there any special burn options I need to set for this to work?

Thanks for your help.

Jim

nothing special
it is a standard iso image

Still--I had lots of problems trying to burn a copy of March 30 on 3 machines running 3 different burn programs. Lots of error messages, sometimes a complete burn that would hang on boot.

May 21 gave me no problems at all making copies.

Just my observations.

Try this:

login as root

cdrecord -scanbus

(mine gives)
0,0,0 0) 'HL-DT-ST' 'RW/DVD GCC-4120B' '2.01' Removable CD-ROM

then

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v /path/to/iso

(your dev might be different from 0,0,0)
