CD Burning In Kernel 2.6.x (IDE)
If you’re still running kernel 2.4.x, to burn a cd you’re forced to use SCSI emulation (under kernel module ide-scsi). But in kernel 2.6.x, it’s easy as 123. We can use ide-cd.
Firstly, you’ll need to load it:
sudo modprobe ide-cd
And to burn a cd, you have to make an iso file. Use apt and get the mkisofs package.
sudo apt-get install mkisofs
sudo apt-get install cdrecord
Make your *.iso file :
mkisofs -o test.iso /home/smd/testfolder/
and burn the *.iso file using cdrecord :
cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw /home/smd/test.iso
Ok. Thats it. This is just a basic usage. Details? google it.
