About Debian CD Image

1997-07-04 Thread Alex Fan
I can download the Debian Linux Distribution CD image from Debian FTP
site.  But anyone can tell me what CD-Writer software should I use to
write the image to the CD-W?

Thank you in advance.

Alex.

Re: About Debian CD Image

Many CD programs will take ISO image files. I don't have instructions on
many yet, here are the two I have so far.

Thanks

Bruce

Here are notes for writing Debian's ISO 9660 CD image files using various
CD-writing programs:



Cdwrite

Cdwrite is in a free Debian package. Most development of late seems to
be happening to a program called cdrecord, which might eventually
replace cdwrite. It works on drives from Yamaha, Philips, Kodak,
IMS, and HP.  I use cdwrite on my Yamaha 4X writer with no problem.
The flags I give it are:

cdwrite \
--eject \
--verbose \
--speed 4 \
--device /dev/sg0 \
--yamaha \
/mnt/binary.iso



Easy CD - Would more accurately be called No CD.

Easy CD, which comes with many drives shipped by Philips and other
companies, doesn't recognize the ISO image files created by the Debian
mkisofs program. It's no doubt a simple problem, since we conform to
the ISO 9660 CD standard, but their customer support staff says We
don't support Linux and won't tell us anything else. If you are
ordering a drive that comes with Easy CD, tell the dealer you already
know it won't work for your application and you'd like another program
in its place. If you have it now, plug the drive into a Linux system
and use cdwrite or cdrecord instead.

Thanks
