Intermediate Image

---

The first step is perhaps to copy all of the files you wish to burn to CD into a single directory, perhaps /home/kayon/cdimage/. Then create the iso9660 CD image with:

$ cd /home/kayon $ mkisofs -r -o cdimage.raw cdimage

The file cdimage.raw will be created in /home/kayon. You could now check that it looks okay by mounting the file as a file system (you usually need to be root to do this):

$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop/0 cdimage.raw /mnt $ ls /mnt $ sudo umount /mnt

Now write the image to a CD. Here's some alternatives for a number of systems I use:

$ cdrecord -data cdimage.raw

(No device is specified, assuming it is specified appropriately in /etc/default/cdrecord as /dev/cdrom.)

If you are writing to a CD-RW be sure to blank the CD first with:

$ cdrecord -blank=fast
