Tried a couple of times to burn an iso in Gnome Toaster - but each time it appeared as file.iso - not the way I wanted it.
Why can't I just click on the iso and it ask me if I would like to burn it or mount it?
Anyway the easiest way is on the command line
The first step in using cdrecord, is to find the address of your CDR-RW device.
Enter the following command:
$ cdrecord -scanbus
you get something like this
0,2,0 0) 'CD-RW ' 'CDR-5W48 ' 'VSG3' Removable CD-ROM
test run with:
$ cdrecord -eject -dummy dev=0,2,0 -v warty_4.1.iso
To burn this to a CD, I enter the command:
$ cdrecord dev=0,2,0 -v warty_4.1.iso
Or
$ cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,2,0 warty_4.1.iso
where -v is verbose
speed=2 (I specify a slower speed so I don't get so many errors).
Mount the iso file in the /mnt/temp directory:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 ./myiso.iso /mnt/temp
Why can't nautilus and kde do this automatically (perhaps they can in newer versions).
