F12-i386-DVD iso won't burn properly

2010-03-01 Thread Temlakos
I have downloaded this ISO twice, and verified it each time. I have made no less than three coasters while trying to create a DVD from it. Then I moved the ISO to another machine, and another program--which then proceeded to tell me that the ISO looked like a CD, not a DVD. What's going on?

If you put the filesystem of interest on its own partition, then ISTM you can mount -o remount,ro that one file system, and it should remain static during the backup. All data will still be available, though unmodifiable. Clearly, one would need to do something like an lsof to ensure that

More seriously, if there is a command-line tool that root would use to adjust the CPU scaling, perhaps it would work to add that command to the /etc/sudoers file. You would still need to use the sudo command to run it, but once having entered your personal (not root) password, you could issue
