how exactly do I do this?

Mega Man X · 05-23-2004, 06:22 PM

[root@bash]# cdrecord -v dev=3,0,0 image.iso

For a nice, friendly tutorial about using cdrecord, creating and making iso files, check this link out:

it's the best there is IMO

ok, how do I control burn speeds?

Mega Man X · 05-23-2004, 06:30 PM

[root@bash]#cdrecord -speed=8

I guess... try "man cdrecord", it surely is there...

Code:

[root@localhost root]# cdrecord -v dev=3,0,0 /home/sandy/FC2-i386-disc1-1.iso
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J?rg Schilling

cdrecord either can't find your cdr(w) device or SCSI is not enabled. Try runnig cdrecord -scanbus first to identify the device...

i checked, it was actually at 0,0,0...

seems to be working alright. I didn't specify any burn speed, so I'm guessing it's going at maximum speed. I hope it's still a healthy burn.
