List, I have a problem : I've downloaded an .iso file ( 627MB). It is supposed to be a Linux-on-CD-demo (VirtualLinux-Mandrake 8.1-style).
The md5sum is OK. I want to create a CD to show off. I usually burn music and data without problems. Now, this one must be bootable, of course. Burning seems O.K. - but booting from CD : ignored. I've tried : Eroaster, GCombust, Gnome-Toaster, k3b, and X-CD-Roast. --- To no avail, of course. Then, reading man-pages (cdrecord, mkisofs, etc..) : gobbledygook..... O.K. - Back to the Command Line Interface : no luck. Searching the archives : even more confused. Tried Derek's advice (cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -dao Linux-distro-filename.iso) (adjusted for my system) but *dao* is no option. ( although cddao is installed). Then cdrecord finished and ejected the plate. Reboot : back in my old, belovered MDK 9.0. Conclusion : How the *H**** can I make this CD bootable ?
