While I agree that the ldp might be useful, I have always found it a PITA to get the info I need from that site. It is far too disorganised for my taste. I prefer Google and the specific article links it provides. Just my .0002c worth.

Cheers

good post craig, a referral to the cd-burning howto at
http://www.tldp.org is also probably appropriate.

if you cannot remember the sequence of letters in that url, just think
"The Linux Documentation Project" - it should be a first port of call
for most setup problems, particularly if you are not breaking new ground.

Such is the turning point in your path.  Time to say "bugger the path -
climb this here mountain less travelled." (apologies to Robert Frost)



I will google shortly to find out what sort of stuff I need supportwise
but the main question I wanted here was which program is good for
burning CDs? I'm running RH9 if it affects anything...


To make an ISO image of a bunch of files/directories
        mkisofs -r -o image.iso  files files files
-r makes Rock Ridge extensions so long filenames work better.
-o image.iso stores the output in a file called image.iso in the current
directory.
and files is all the files or directories you want in the ISO.

To get your CDR working:
Boot with these kernel options (my CDR is hdc and cdrom drive is hdd)
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=cdrom"
Add that to /etc/lilo.conf for permenancy
When booted,
modprobe ide-scsi
which emulates a scsi device with an existing IDE CDROM drive.
Find your CDR with cdrecord -scanbus
which returns


tramadol:~# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.01a16 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) (C) 1995-2003 J�rg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.28
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus0:
       0,0,0     0) 'HP      ' 'CD-Writer+ 9100 ' '1.0c' Removable CDR
       0,1,0     1) *
       0,2,0     2) *
        ....
so my CDR is at 0,0,0

To record the ISO to a CD
        cdrecord -v speed=8 -dev=0,0,0 -data image.iso
-v for verbose
speed=8 for 8-speed writing (you might not be able to use your maximum
burn speed.
-dev-0,0,0 is the address of your CDR as given above
-data image.iso

---------------------------------------------
To do Audio:
Rip the tracks off CD
        cdparanoia -B
-B is Batch, meaning do the whole CD and auto split at tracks.

Record all the wav files to CDR
        cdrecord -pad -v dev=0,0,0 speed=8 *.wav
Same options as above
-pad means to pad out the sectors to 2352 bytes, filling with 0 for
audio
