 Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 3:38 am Post subject: What is the PROPER way to burn a data cd? |
 |
|
I tried using GnomeBaker to burn CD/DVD's, but I feel it's still at its infancy. For example, I can't create subdirectories in the disks. So, I've decided to use console-based burning tools.
I've heard the way to burn data cd/dvds in console is
1. Create the image
2. Burn the image
I get how to burn the image, but I can't find the tools to create the image.
mkisofs can only create new images; it can't modify old images. I don't want to create a entirely new image everytime I add a file or something.
Mounting the image as rw isn't a option, since users can't mount by default without a proper entry in fstab. But editing fstab will need me to su to root anyway, defeating the purpose of user-burning the new >2.6.10 kernels.
So, for the gurus out there, what's the proper way to make a image to burn? |

| If you don't have any troubles with its dependencies, use k3b. I would say that it's the proper (i mean easy) way to make a data CD. |

first
then
| Code: | #!/bin/zsh
mkisofs -R -o /tmp/tmp-file.raw "$1" && sudo cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 -tao -speed 12 -v /tmp/tmp-file.raw
rm -f /tmp/tmp-file.raw |
this is my script to burn files to cd, should work with subdirs and so on, more help on man cdrecord.
//e
if your problem only is to modify an image without totally creating it new, then i have no idea...

| Use growisofs to modify existing iso files. |
