How do i use cdrw to copy a download?
 

All I need to do is copy downloaded Nvidia video card driver to cd, then open it on my other computer and copy frm cd to desktop using CLI... I don't hav gui tools.

Here are my:

CDrom/ CDwriter settings:

bash-3.1# ls -al /dev|grep hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-10-12 17:02 cdr -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-10-12 17:02 cdr1 -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-10-12 17:02 cdrom1 -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-10-12 17:02 cdrw -> hdc

You need to use mkisofs to create a .iso file, then use cdrecord to burn the iso to a disk.

Example:
Be sure to use 'cdrecord -scanbus' first and make sure that you use the correct parameters to point at your CDR.

???
why would you do that? there are plenty of raw file burners for the console

what is the root of iso?
