Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

hmmm... are we talking about trying to delete and image that has already been burnt to a DVD+/-R ??
If so... it's there for good! time to start with a fresh disk... if it is re-writeable media (DVD-RW) then k3b will re-format it for you.
It is CD-R, burnt by a DVD burner. I burned it. I didn't even burn it correctly. I burnt it as an .iso file instead of mirroring its contents. I've tried doing all of this kind of stuff - erasing, formatting, etc. - from k3b and still get the same results. Everything I have done from the command line has been from root. It is completely immune to being altered unless I can somehow turn off the read-only attribute that is programmed on there.
On a side note, it was burned on there by this program that came with the burner when I had Windows on my computer. Maybe Linux is not capable of detecting or changing this attribute.
Note to all viewers! Since people keep calling so much attention to the fact that I have two, I repeat, TWO threads running with exactly the same content, I feel inclined to explain myself, and remind you all, once again, that I have TWO threads running at the same time! With the exact same content! In two different forums!
After waiting 16 hours with no reply, I decided that this was probably long enough to wait before I should be able to post the question in another thread, without fear of being admonished for wasting people's time on such a newbie question. Granted, not everybody checks the times and dates of when such threads are initiated before they attempt to admonish them, or joke about it, or sensationalize it, just for the sake of calling it to more people's attention, or possibly trying to gain brownie points by calling it to the right people's attention.
Nevertheless, I hope you actually got something out of the time that it took for you read this.
