Does anyone else have unusual trouble burning ISOs to CD-RWs? When I want to make a new liveCD of a distro--or, really, any data that I might not want to keep in its current form--I like to burn to CD-RWs because I can erase and reuse them. Frugality. But I have a very high frequency of errors when I try to burn a distro to a CD-RW. Sometimes it ruins the CD-RW: after the error disrupts the burning, K3B starts telling me the disc is now a CD-ROM and can't be erased. I just lost three CD-RWs to that--damn it. And they weren'd old, failing CD-RWs: two had slight use, and one was brand new. Should I not be burning distro ISOs to CD-RWs?
I need to know where to look in Ubuntu to find the iso burning program. I normaly run slack and am not familiar with debian based systems, I have limited internet time
I have some ISO, UDF, and IMG files on my Windows partition that I would like to mount in Fedora so that I can run it as if it were a CD. In Windows, I used Magic Disk to do this. I searched the forums and found posts that told how to do it from the CLI, but I would like to do it from the GUI.
I replaced the hds in my computer a while back. They were linked up as one logical volume, but before I pulled them out I saved isos of each disk.
However, now I need to find some information on them, but I can't figure out how to mount the isos. When I try mount -o loop on either iso, it tells me it can't recognize the file system type.
mount:
So I'm guessing that somehow I have to tell mount that they are two parts of one logical volume, but I'm not sure how to do that.
One way or another, is it going to be possible for me to recover the info from these isos?
Is it possible to put the ISO images for Debian on your system and point the APT config at them with some sort of driver to read them like disks? That would sure save a lot of disk swapping.
I am having a problem checking the MD5SUM of some CDs burnt from ISOs, and I'm not sure whether the problem is the burning or the checking. I get the same problems on several PCs, and it seems to be dependent on the ISO. I have for a couple of years used a script someone gave me to verify CDs against ISOs when I want to check the disc and it has always worked in the past. The core line in the script is:
Code: devmd5=`readom dev=$cddev sectors=0-$count f=- | md5sum | awk '{print $1}' count is the size of the ORIGINAL ISO as calculated by isosize
Does anybody know where UNetBootin stores the temporary .isos etc.. before it extracts and puts it on the USB stick. I notice my hard drive space is going down slowly and that's the only thing I've been downloading with for the past few days.
I have the 5 Debian 5.02 DVD/ISOs, and would like to set up a local server from which to perform installations using a PXE bootloader and the local LAN. Any pointers to how I might accomplish this? All of the online resources I've found for network-based installs expect to do all downloading from a remote mirror, and I would prefer to limit my network traffic to the local LAN. Also, I want to install to multiple new hosts, and would like to avoid doing a lot of babysitting and swapping DVDs in and out of the drives (and some hosts are without DVD readers).
I'm trying to make a sort of "toolkit" flash drive using grub2 but I am running into some problems. For some reason, every entry below gives me the error "you must load the kernel first" when I try to boot it. I have checked in the grub command line and it appears that grub sees my flash drive as the first drive when booting. This is what my grub.cfg looks like.
I think opensuse should provide regenerated ISO files to public after several package updated. I think this may help reduce duplicate bug reports and reduce net traffics. I think this can greatly increase the user experience of opensuse.
"In this tutorial you will prepare a USB flash drive to make it bootable. After you booted it it shows you a menu where you can choose which live system you want to boot. So you might be interested in this tutorial if: You want to have multiple live systems on one USB flash drive In the future you want to create a new bootable live system just by copying the ISO file onto the drive and edit the grub.cfg You don't want to or can't use Distro specific LiveUSB creator tools You prefer a cleaner solution than the most LiveUSB creator tools which create several folders and files at the device root You are feeling bored and want to see cool features of Grub2 If you have a Grub2 version with Lua support you even don't need to manually edit the grub.cfg when you add new or remove live systems."

I have never burned a DVD to be used on a Linux box before. If I am burning a CD using a Windows program (not built-in burning), is there anything special I need to be aware of to make sure the DVD will be able to be read on Linux?
I was attempting to burn an .iso using dd, I had used it before and remembered it being quite simple.
However I tried it today with:
I noticed it finished very quickly and now the cdr1 file inside /dev is six hundred megs or so. I don't think I can get the old file back so am wondering if I will need to reinstall, or if I should delete that file maybe it will rebuild on start up?
Should have I used another terminal command for burning .iso's to disk? What might the correct command be?
I have notebook Sony Vaio model PCG-4T1P and I never used linux before, and as you all know that..there's no CD-ROM so my question is : 1- How i can burn linux to USB? 2- When i will install my drivers, I will get errors or defects? and if I will get errors how i can find drivers which will work? 3- What kind of linux you all prefer to use it?
I want to burn a dvd with some data directly without creating .iso file before burning.right now i use to create an iso file first using mkisofs or dd command and then burn using cdrecord command.But i want to know whether is it possible to directly burn dvd without creating iso first?i use following commands-
how to burn slackware 13.1 on a DVD. I know i have to use a bittorrent to download the files but after thats done what do i do? Im having troubles figuring this out A quick relpy would be nice as im trying to figure it out as we speak
I sometimes get downloads, usually of linux OS's where the file is too large for a cd and has to be formated as a dvd. When I try to burn it to a disk, I keep getting something that says I need to insert a blank dvd.
Problem is, I have a blank dvd in the tray all ready to go. The unit I'm using is a Sony external dvd burner hooked up by a usb. Bresero wouldn't touch it, so I installed k3b (this is in Ubuntu10.04) k3b could read that I had a blank dvd in the drive, but when I pointed to what file I intended to burn, I kept getting the "insert blank dvd", and it wouldn't start, even though the screen in the background could see that the dvd was loaded and ready. No problem for cd's, they'll burn like an oil slick on the Gulf of Mexico.
I'd like to burn DVD (my pictures and some data) with a possible strong protection mechanismus, to prevent of DVD media copying and not pictures data copying. Which program can I use under Linux?
I have download Slackware 13.37 DVD via bit torrent.But it contain several files in addition to ISO image.I try to burn that folder which contain all this files as image.But it detect only the ISO image. Do i need to burn all this files to DVD or if i burn only the ISO image file will it work.Can i burn them in data format to a DVD.
Is there a live linux distro that I can use for burn-in? I'd like something that has Bonnie++ on it. I've found other live CDs that have utilities, but nothing with bonnie++ on it.
