Making CD Labels In Linux?
 
Ok - So making CD stick on labels is totally old school and nothing special I'm sure but the fact is, I have never made them before. Can you please tell me how hard is it to create a cd label using just Linux? I am sure there are a zillion ways to do this in Windows and perhaps a few thousand in Linux but I am just looking to create a simple Linux boot disk and would like the label to have a skull & crossbones label that looks something like this. If you guys could kindly point me in the right direction, I would be very greatful!

What does the skull & crossbones have to do with Linux? A label like that would be better suited to the illegal copy of Windows XP in your top drawer.

Anyhow, you can get CD label templates for OpenOffice.org from here:

I don't know if you're you trying to sound like a dick by insinuating I have a illegal copy of Windows. I would never own or use a copy of Windows and regardless, if I did, it would be in the bottom drawer, not the top.

The label design is to represent a toxic label as in when you use it, it will erase your entire drive and build the OS on the fly. Hence all the data is lost and well...you get the point.

Pulling your leg.

Taking the mickey.

Bursting your balloons.

Extracting the urine.

etc, etc...

Good question and answer. I have been looking for something like that and had not yet run across it.
