You're not obliged to burn an .iso image, be it on a CD or a DVD, to write its content to the CD (or DVD). If you want to keep data on a CD/DVD, why would you use an .iso? That's an image-backup extension. If you're using GUIs, I recommend you to switch to GUIs. After either of those commands, one need simply wodim image.iso That must be with a particular program. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

I use K3b and swear by it, but YMMV. Just be careful to check through the options and ensure you preserve the permissions. It is not a major matter if you don't, but preserving them keeps life simpler. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Creating DVD and CDs
Hi all, After finally figuring out how to back up my e-mail files I now need to go about putting them onto a CD. What I have here is just a folder with files inside of it.

Re: Creating DVD and CDs
After finally figuring out how to back up my e-mail files I now need to go about putting them onto a CD. To make a *CD* one first needs to create an ISO file The CD/DVD buring programs brasero or k3b can be used to burn a data CD/DVD directly without first creating an .iso file Brasero is a Gnome program and k3b is a KDE program but either program can be used under either desktop environment For information apt-cache show brasero apt-cache show k3b To install apt-get install brasero apt-get install k3b -- Stanley C.
