downloaded txt.iso file: how to make a bootable cdimage out of it??
hello out there, i should appreciate some illuminating help with the following problem: for some reasons i temporarily fell back for work on woody, standard vanilla kernel. yesterday i downloaded an official .iso file from woody (first cd) for a friend of mine. i only can get this on my harddisk as a text_file, ending on .iso. when I burn this file of about 599 MB with cdrecord and i mount this file the only thing i see is debian xxx.iso my question: how can i tell my machine (the 'vanilla_machine') to make a bootable CDimage.iso file out of this downloaded file? what did i do wrong? thank you all, steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Jérémie Knuesel wrote: when I burn this file of about 599 MB with cdrecord and i mount this file the only thing i see is debian xxx.iso I don't know what's going on but instead of wasting CD-Rs you can mount the iso file directly with the loop device. For example, instead of burning the iso you can do: mount file.iso /mnt/whatever -o loop Then you can see the content of the iso in /mnt/whatever. If what you see is a new iso file, you can try to mount this file too :) mount /mnt/whatever/debian\ xxx.iso /mnt/whatever2 -o loop So you can check what you would get if you burned the file. Yours, Jérémie K. thank you, jeremie for your answer. and, yes i loop-mounted the image.iso (made under woody) and so i could read what is in this file, which seems to be allright. yet this cdrom i made under woody with cdrecord out of this image does not boot, nor under woody vanilla-kernel nor under sarge. so i made another cdrom with sarge and - lo - out came a bootable cdrom which i gonna give to my friend-musician. so the queation remains: why does sarge make bootable cdroms (cdimage.iso's) and woody not. anybody who knows the answer on that question? however: maybe can cdrtoast be of some help under woody: i gonna spend one more cdrom on this. cost me 60 eurocents (one old dutch guilder and 35 cents) and some reading and googling. thanx, steef steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: xcdroast in kernel 2.6 doesn't work with ATAPI or SCSI - BY-PASSED
Anthony Campbell wrote: On 15 Jun 2004, Anthony Campbell wrote: It's supposed to be unnecessary to use scsi-emulation in 2.6 kernels but if I try to use ATAPI, xcdroast simply hangs with a message saying it won't work properly (this is latest version from Sid). I therefore gave up and compiled a kernel with SCSI emulation, which worked for me in kernel 2.4, but in 2.6 it fails to detect any drives at all, even though syslog shows that scsi emulation has worked. Is there any way round this or do I have to revert to a 2.4 kernel whenever I want to burn a CD? Does cdrecord work in 2.6 (I've never got into cdrecord directly yet). xcdroast resolutely refuses to run, but after a couple of hours work I got to grips with mkisofs and cdrecord and I can now burn CDs without problems. Probably rather quicker and easier than xcdroast, in fact. Anthony indeed. use mkisofs, cdrecord (and if necessary) cdparanoia. that's an commandline solution for burning cdroms. steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, there are always people who forget these simple things when talking of/with new users. Perhaps you and Paul think I meant by fixing things that the original poster should start learning C and building packages etc. Far from it! There are many ways in which Debian can be helped which don't require programming. All it takes is a willingness to jump in. Back in 1997 I was a new user (not new to Linux though but still in the dark about a lot of things.) I was complaining about something or another on this very list. And the answer I got was exactly So why don't you fix it? And I did and here I am today. I didn't complain about the answer because that's what I and everyone else thought you were supposed to do. Somewhere down the line people have started thinking that Linux is a product and Debian is a vendor. Well it isn't and we aren't. There are vendors who have made products out of Linux and even Debian in particular but they ask for something else in return usually money. So when the original poster says that Suse is a product that fits his needs but he doesn't want to pay for it frankly I don't have much sympathy. It's not about complaining. Criticize all you want the stuff in Debian that deserves criticism. But back the complaints up with some action or it just looks like whining. i agree completely. i reject the abject consumerism with 'products' and 'vendors' as well completely. BUT, I hope I do not do that forgetting a certain humanist mildness. so give this poster a break. steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
