Sure, first I would do: cdrecord -checkdrive dev=/dev/hdc -vv This will output a bunch of stuff. Towards the end, you should see something like this: Drive current speed: 16 Drive default speed: 16 Drive max speed : 16 Selected speed : 16 Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr). Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R96R Drive buf size : 1605888 = 1568 KB If so, then we are ready to proceed with burning. Here is the command that I use: cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -immed -eject driveropt=burnfree <file.iso> If your drive doesn't support burnfree, just take out the whole "driveropt=burnfree" part. But, something just occurred to me....does this system have 2 CD burners, or a burner and a reader? If not, you will have much trouble to burn a CD while running off the live cd. You may want to copy the .iso file over the network or to a USB key, and burn it on another system. Any windows software should also be able to burn an ISO without much trouble. Just make sure you open the ISO as a 'project', don't add it as a file to a new project...in other words, if you see "tmp.iso" in a list of files somewhere, you went the wrong way. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
