I know there Do a "man mkisofs". There are two options ("-b" and "-c") usable when making El Torrito bootable CDs. >I did try to just write it. I used cdrecord on device >'dev=/dev/rcd0.ctl' but the command failed after just a few If I understand correctly, you're trying to put the device name after the "dev" option. This is wrong. If you haven't custom configured cdrecord, do a "cdrecord -scanbus" to see if the unit is recognized. Create a link to the proper device with "ln -s /dev/rcdX.ctl /dev/scgx" where X is the unit number, probably 0 or 1 if you have a reader connected to the same machine. By default cdrecord uses /dev/scgx. To burn a CD, place "BUS,SCSI_ID,LUN" after the dev option; for example, if your CD writer is on SCSI bus 0, ID 4, LUN 0, the option should be "dev=0,4,0". In this case, the following is a sample command (1x writing): cdrecord -v -fs=0 speed=1 dev=0,4,0 /myisoimage If your CD writer isn't automatically recognized with the correct driver, you can specify a driver with the option "driver=XXX". To get a list of available drivers use "driver=help". Even if your writer isn't listed, chances are that it IS supported with the driver corresponding to the mechanic. For example I have a Traxdata 4120 which is supported by the teac_cdr50 driver, because the mechanic is TEAC. "man cdrecord" for details. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
