mkiso , cdrecord command

Hi

I'm trying to install mkiso and cdrecord commands in my redhat 6.0 but when I execute below I get no matches found.

Code:

[root@redhat6 ~]# yum search mkiso

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin

rhel-i386-server-6                                                          | 1.8 kB    00:00

rhel-i386-server-6/primary                                                  | 2.5 MB    00:20

rhel-i386-server-6                                                                        3064/3064

Warning: No matches found for: mkiso

No Matches found

Where to instal those cmds from ??

thx for help.

'locate bin/mkiso' : /usr/bin/mkisofs

# yum provides */mkisofs

# yum install genisoimage

There is no command by name 'mkiso'.

..

Yes I tried to use locate cmd after updatedb cmd but, it does't find me anything.
I did it this way :

Code:



[root@redhat6 etc]# yum provides mkiso\*

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin

genisoimage-1.1.9-11.el6.i686 : Creates an image of an ISO9660 filesystem

Repo        : rhel-i386-server-6

Matched from:

Other      : mkisofs = 9:2.01-12







[root@redhat6 etc]# yum provides cdrecord\*

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin

wodim-1.1.9-11.el6.i686 : A command line CD/DVD recording program

Repo        : rhel-i386-server-6

Matched from:

Other      : cdrecord = 9:2.01-12

And then

Code:

yum install genisoimage-1.1.9-11.el6.i686

yum install wodim-1.1.9-11.el6.i686

There is no command 'mkiso' but there is 'mkisofs'.

thx for help anyway.

Be careful, genisoimage is an unmaintained and buggy variant from a 7 year old mkisofs source. I cannot recommend to use it.

The same applies to wodim vs. cdrecord.

I recommend to use recent original software from: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
