To burn an ISO image to a CD or CD-RW in Linux, you can use the cdrecord
utility. cdrecord
is a command-line utility that allows you to burn data to CD and DVD media.
Before you can use cdrecord
, you will need to install it on your system. On most Linux distributions, you can install cdrecord
using the package manager. For example, on a Debian-based system, you can use the following command to install cdrecord
:
sudo apt-get install cdrecord
On a Red Hat-based system, you can use the following command to install cdrecord
:
sudo yum install cdrecord
Once cdrecord
is installed, you can use the following command to burn an ISO image to a CD or CD-RW:
cdrecord -v dev=DEVICE_NAME ISO_IMAGE
Replace DEVICE_NAME
with the device name of your CD or CD-RW drive, and ISO_IMAGE
with the path to the ISO image you want to burn.
For example, to burn the ISO image myimage.iso
to the CD-RW drive /dev/cdrw
, you would use the following command:
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrw myimage.iso
cdrecord
will prompt you to insert a blank CD or CD-RW into the drive, and then it will start burning the ISO image to the disc.
It is important to note that cdrecord
requires superuser privileges to run, so you may need to use the sudo
command to execute the cdrecord
command.
By following these steps, you should be able to burn an ISO image to a CD or CD-RW in Linux. If you encounter any issues during the burning process, you may need to consult the documentation for cdrecord
or seek assistance from a qualified Linux administrator.
