 |
|
why are filenames and folders converted to uppercase when burning an iso image? is there a way to avoid that, because the install routine won't work with capital letters :(.
btw, i'm using xcdroast
thanks in advance |

You probably left some iso fs options out (like rock ridge)... The strange thing is that if you feed cdrecord an iso image it shouldn't care what this is anyway, and just burn it on the cdrom. So, if I was you I would:
1) check the iso image's integrity (you could mount it with loopback on a test dir and browse the contents)
| Code: |
mount yourimage.iso -r -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/test
|
2) get rid of the gui full-fledged option-rich tools for such an easy job as feeding cdrecord an already present iso image and do it directly from the command line:
| Code: |
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,3,0 yourimage.iso
where speed depends on your drive and the scsi subchannel can be found by previously running
cdrecord -scanbus
|
[/code]

Instead of mounting loopback and doing an "eyeball" check, you can check the md5sum of the iso and make sure it is the same as the one at the download site:
| Code: |
md5sum <iso_image_name>
|
You can then use cdrecord to burn the iso image directly - never had problems with this.

All you need are console-based apps. GUI's (in my case) only screw things up. I fyou made the iso image yourself make sure that you have passed the correct options to mkisofs.
