How to burn an ISO (Tutorial)

[xtremeplaya792]

old that program works like a champ, i couldnt burn linux using the other program b/c it was to big of a file so i tried yours and it worked TY

[likewhoa]

for those that don't know what CLI or GUI mean

 

CLI = command line interface

GUI = graphical user interface

 

there are several ways to burn an ISO through the terminal in Linux I will point out a few..

 

Using CDRECORD http://cdrecord.berlios.de

 

1. Find your cdr/dvdr device

 

lappy ~ # cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA

Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a11 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 Jörg Schilling

scsidev: 'ATA'

devname: 'ATA'

scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2

Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.

Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27

Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

scsibus0:

	0,0,0	 0) *

	0,1,0	 1) 'TEAC	' 'DW-224E		 ' '7.0A' Removable CD-ROM

	0,2,0	 2) *

	0,3,0	 3) *

	0,4,0	 4) *

	0,5,0	 5) *

	0,6,0	 6) *

	0,7,0	 7) *

 

 

"If no device is found you might need to load your ide kernel module"

The CD device above would be 0,1,0 which we will reference in step 3.

 

# load ide module

lappy ~ # modprobe ide-cd

 

# verify it's loaded

lappy ~ # lsmod|grep ide

ide_cd 35872 0

cdrom 35360 1 ide_cd

 

2. download/extract your ISO image

 

3. burn this ISO image with cdrecord..

 

cdrecord -v dev=ATA:0,1,0 speed=60 driveropts=burnfree myimage.iso

 

parameters explained..

 

-v = verbose

the rest is self explanatory

 

END CLI instructions.. "you can also use other cli apps like growisofs for larger than 2G size images and or cdrecord-ProDVD which comes with a free personal non-commercial license"

 

Burning ISO using GUI

 

I won't go into detail on which programs and how to burn using this apps as I don't have any of them installed now and prefer CLI because it's simplier but here are a few apps that will work..

 

K3B http://www.k3b.org

 

Nero http://nerolinux.nero.com "burning an ISO here is just about the same as in windows but not identical"

 

Xcdroast http://www.xcdroast.org

 

 

Well there it goes, hope this helps some Newbie Linux users out there
