I am running RH9 and I am trying to use GnomeToaster 1.0 Beta 6 to burn this.I have looked all over that program and I cannot seem to find where it says to burn an image file.If anyone could tell me how to do this or reccomend another burning program I would be very greatful.Thanks.

cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 cdimage.iso
Find out what your CD recorder device name is (to use with the dev= option above) using cdrecord -scanbus.

...or read the man page for cdrecord for more options (man cdrecord).

The command line is your friend.....

(sorry im new to linux)
I get an error message when I try it.This is what I have typed.

cdrecord -v speed=2 CD-RW NR-9100A=2,0 MandrakeLinuxCD1.iso

OK, lets go step by step. We need to know what device it is and if you have it configured correctly first.

Open an x terminal
Use this command to become root
su -
give root's password and press enter
give this command:
cdrecord -scanbus
Paste the output of that here.

What I get for an exampleMy device is 0,0,0 and it is configured correctly.

Ok, Im not trying to waste your time but I really need this done and so far all I have accomlished is a headache.This is what I have,


scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) '_NEC ' 'CD-RW NR-9100A ' '108A' Removable CD-ROM
1,1,0 101) *
1,2,0 102) *
1,3,0 103) *
1,4,0 104) *
1,5,0 105) *
1,6,0 106) *
1,7,0 107) *

So do I copy 1,0,0 100) '_NEC ' 'CD-RW NR-9100A ' '108A' Removable CD-ROM
or just _NEC ' 'CD-RW NR-9100A ' '108A' Removable CD-ROM.



I tried to copy everything and I got this message,

No such file or directory. No read access for 'CD-RW'


Everything else looks correct though right?

cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=<your device> /home/almostartafact/MandrakeLinuxCD1.iso

OK, now try this:

Your iso is probably not right
If your device is dev=1,0,0
then do in a terminal [me@mycomputer adirectory]$
mkisofs -v -r -o session1 /path/to/afile
Then you find a file session1 in adirectory
Burn this to a new cd in the same terminal with
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=1,0,0 -eject -multi -data session1
The cd remains open
You can copy more files to it.
To copy a second file to it do
cdrecord -msinfo dev=1,0,0
This gives two numbers back.
Then do
mkisofs -v -r -o session2 -C firstnumber,secondnumber -M /dev/scd0 /path/to /afile
Then you have session2.
Copy this to cd with
cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 -eject -multi -data session2
I find the frontends won't work.
You will have to umount your device for cdrecord to work.
When you're finished, you can delete session 1 2 ...whatever.
I wrestled with this for hours, it works fine here for me now, thanks to help from all the Linuxers out there.
Email me if you like.
