Re: buring iso using xcdroast

[Paul Dorman <pdorman ihug co nz>]

Actually Nitesh, the easiest way is to just do it in a console. First
run the command:

cdrecord -scanbus

to confirm that cdrecord can see your CD-R drive. I assume you have at
least version 1.6.1 of cdrecord, which is the latest stable release. Now
if your CD-R drive is at the top of the list then you can probably use
this command:

cdrecord -v dev=0,0 /path/to/your/image/imagefile.iso

If you have a double or quad speed writer you can also insert the
speed=# option, where # is an integer reflecting the write speed of your
drive.

Also, if you have an ATAPI CD-R like me, then you'll probably need a
switch in your lilo.conf file:

append = "hdc=ide-scsi" 

This is what I have on my system at any rate.

I'm sure others can clarify the task somewhat better. This is merely a
reflection of my own experience earlier today which had me successfully
write a the RH6.0 ISO image to a CD. Some explanation of the 'dev'
switch can be found in the cdrecord man page.

Best regards,
Paul Dorman.
