Re: cd burning question
The last Fedora 3 I burned with your ISO's :)

Not a far from what you are using there. The biggest
mistake I made was not checking the magic numbers
before assuming it was a good burn. I ran the media
check on the machine I intended to install them on
they checked out fine. Installed fine on 2-3 machines.

Re: cd burning question
It has been a while since I last used cdrecord, but FWIW, I don't see any errors in the output that you provided. It looks like a clean burn. I've been having some issues on a different OS with different burning software using CD-RW discs. The odd thing is that if I mount the iso and the burned CD, all the files appear to be there and they have the same size... It's hit or miss, too, depending on the disc and the amount of data being written. I think FreeBSD's burncd command may have a problem with the rings that keep getting bigger on CD-RWs as you blank and rewrite them. Oh well, I guess that wasn't very helpful. ;) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I expect you know this, but: Unless you install every package, it is likely a bad disc will still "work". Even then, there may be obscure failures that don't matter for most cases. # nice -17 cdrecord -v -speed=16 -dev2,0,0 -data FC4-i386-disc1.iso You might try adding "-dao". FYI: If run with root privs, cdrecord will automatically attempt to give itself the highest possible priorities (including "real time" priorities beyond standard Unix "nice" levels), so the "nice -17" is redundant. -- Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Just to be clear, I belive that you meant "-data" there.

Just to be clear, using "cdrecord -dev=2,0.0" generates a CD that
"works" for me (with all of the disclaimers mentioned elsewhere in
this thread). "cdrecord -dev=3,0,0" immediately produces this error

That's the datestamp flag, which is used to set the expiration date of the ISO. Without it, your CD would never expire, and you'd never remember to download the new ISOs! -- Seeya, Paul ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
