How to Create Bootable Linux CD

To create a bootable Linux CD, you will need a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc and a Linux ISO file. Here are the steps to create a bootable Linux CD:

1. Download the Linux ISO file and save it to your computer.

2. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD/DVD drive.

3. Open a terminal and use the cdrecord command to burn the ISO file to the CD. For example:

cdrecord -v -eject -multi -pad -data /path/to/linux.iso

Replace /path/to/linux.iso with the actual path to the Linux ISO file on your system.

4. Wait for the CD to be burned. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the ISO file and the speed of your CD/DVD drive.

5. Once the CD has been burned, you can use it to boot a Linux system.

Note: The cdrecord command is part of the cdrtools package, which may need to be installed on your system before you can use it. You can use your system's package manager to install cdrtools, or you can download it from the cdrtools website (https://cdrecord.org/).

Alternatively, you can use a GUI tool such as Brasero or K3b to burn the Linux ISO file to a CD. These tools provide a graphical interface for burning CDs and generally have a more user-friendly interface than the command-line cdrecord tool.
