Assumptions : you are on a linux box. If on a MSFT platform use Adaptec ezcd-
creator or other burning program.
Goto your favorite RL ftp site and grab at least the following two files.
md5sum
isoname-1.iso < where isoname is disk 1 the most current build number in the
iso directory.You only need disk 1 to get RL up and running.
After downloading both files, run a md5sum against the iso you downloaded
Open up a terminal.
#cd /path/to/iso
#md5sum isoname.iso
it will output out a long number. open up the file md5sum in your favorite
editor (mine is vi running in it's own terminal. no vi - emacs wars please :)
and compare the two numbers. If they match then the iso download is good.
Burn it to disk. (i only burn using the CLI cause "dat's how i was edumacated :)
#cd /path/to/iso
#cdrecord -v -eject dev=0,0,0 speed=16 isoname.iso
cdrecord : the cdrecord program
-v : verbose output ( progress, status etc)
-eject : ejects the disk when completed
dev=0,0,0 : those are zero's, this is the burners ID.
(can be found using #cdrecord -scanbus)
speed=16 : mine is 16 since I have a 16x burner. Change this to 2,4,8 etc.
isoname.iso : just that. the name of the iso you want to burn.
There are more things you could do but the above will work for you. Read the
cdburning how-to's for more info than you ever want to know
After all the above you will have a brand new shiny RL disk. Make a dozen more
and hand em out to friends. You'll want the practice anyhow :)
