Linux burn ISO images to Cds and CD-RWs howto

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:

re‮ot ref‬:lautturi.com
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.
