hi, I downloaded VoltaLinux.iso and I want to know the necessary commands to find out what kind of hardware I specificially have and how I can execute the mkisofs and otherwise make this a bootable cd? I am using Slackware 10.1
A couple of useful options you might add are -eject -sao driveropts=burnfree. Eject will eject the CD when done, SAO closes the session which sometimes helps other (older?) drives to read the CD and Burnfree works with drives that support Buffer Underrun Free technology. So your command might look like this:
#umount /mnt/cdrom
#cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jorg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
