cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=24 filename.iso
And while I rarely burn bootable CDs (I mostly archive data), when I do, they work.
Note that I use, for example, speed, not -speed, a usage consistent with the man page ... but that difference is unlikely to cause the sort of failure you seem to be describing. And while I omit -data, that is the default (according to the man page) if no content-type flag is specified.
So ... what do you mean by "Checking CD I find I have an image file on CD"? Do you mean that the process you use creates an iso9660 filesystem that *contains* the file "MandrakeLinux-9.1rc2-CD1.i586.iso" or that the iso-image file is correctly being placed on the CD as a mountable filesystem?

Hi All
I have downloaded the Mandrake 9.1rc2.iso to my HD. I have attempted to burn these iso to CD by both CDRoast and by command line.
I did not ck sums but am assuming that they are good as iso were downloaded on
line better than t3.
After placing #1 burn CD in CD Reader to start installation computer did not recognize CD as bootable.
Checking CD I find I have an image file on CD.
Is it possible for someone to inform me where I am making the mistake in converting the iso images to the correct format on the CD.
The command line command used was: cdrecord -dev=0,2,0 -speed=12 -data MandrakeLinux-9.1rc2-CD1.i586.iso
