Linux: How Do I Burn ISO Images To CD-Rs and CD-RWs with cdrecord?

To burn ISO images to CD-Rs and CD-RWs with cdrecord, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Install cdrecord. If it is not already installed on your system, you can install cdrecord using your package manager. For example, on Debian or Ubuntu, you can use the following command:

sudo apt-get install cdrecord

2. Find the device name of the CD burner. Use the cdrecord -scanbus command to list the devices on your system, and find the device name of the CD burner. The device name will be in the form X,Y,Z, where X, Y, and Z are numbers. Make sure to note the device name, as you will need it in the next step.

3. Burn the ISO image to the CD-R or CD-RW. Use the cdrecord command to burn the ISO image to the CD-R or CD-RW. Specify the path to the ISO image file as the input file, and the device name of the CD burner as the output device.

For example, to burn the ISO image image.iso to the CD burner 0,0,0, you can use the following command:

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 image.iso

This will burn the ISO image to the CD-R or CD-RW. The -v option enables verbose output, which will display the progress of the burn.
