I'm trying to make a Red Hat 7.3 disk with the ISO I downloaded, but it is not booting. I used the directions for Nero at LinuxISO.org, but it's just writing the ISO file to the CD, it's not making a bunch of folders. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

In Nero click File>Burn Image. When it asks for an *.NRG file, select "All Files" and them select your *.ISO. Works for me

Here is my script for writing cd's under linux 4 what its worth

#
# writes a cd from an image file
#
# written 24/6/00 last update 1/11/01
#
# amended to use pipe rather than tempory file
#
cd_device="1,0,0"
#
if [ -z $1 ];
then
echo " "
echo "type cd_write /a/path/where/the/file(s)are bootimage (optional)"
echo " "
echo "cd_write xxxx image .. to write a pure image to cd"
exit
fi
insmod -k ide-mod
insmod -k ide-scsi
if [ $2 = "image" ]; then
echo "Writing pure image file"
cdrecord speed=4 dev=$cd_device $1
exit
fi
if [ -z $2 ]; then
mkisofs -r -v -J $1 | cdrecord -v -speed=8 dev=$cd_device -
else
mkisofs -r -v -J -b $2 $1 | cdrecord -v -speed=8 dev=$cd_device -
fi
#


so you would enter

cd_write imagefile image

if you enter cdrecord -scanbus it will tell you the device numbers for your writer in my case it is 1,0,0
