Title: CD-Burning software
Post by: benthehutt on July 28, 2005, 07:42:43 AM
My linux box is on the frizz--it won't load gdm for some dumb reason...  Anyway, I need to get some files off it and I would rather just scrap RedHat and put on FC3.  So, does anyone know where some CD-Burning software is that'll work w/out gdm loaded.  (AKA, command line-ish) ;D

would the rawrite command still work from the command line? Is it still included? Anyone know?

by the way that's probably not the right syntax, but my feeble mind insists on calling it rawrite....  ;)

What about 'cdrtools' or such ?

And if you're going to be making some ISO images, try 'mkisofs' as well.

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html (for cdrtools)

http://freshmeat.net/projects/mkisofs/

Does that help ? I know mkisofs is command line, and I am thinking cdrtools is too (fairly sure).

Sweetdawgs, you guys have saved my bacon.  I was an idiot and put my linux harddrive in my windows machine so I could copy the files onto the windows hard drive.  But Windows can't even read it...I'm an idiot...

Anyway, thanks for you're suggestions, I think cdrecord will do the trick.

I couldn't figure out rawrite so it said, "screw that!"  And it was like, "dude!" .....[insert innane babble].....

But thanks Godaigo. ;D
