| I recently downloaded Mandrake linux from one of the ftp sites that mandrake suggested. I got the file however the file association defaulted to Roxio easy cd creator. After futher investigation i realized that when i downloaded red hat 7.2 it did the same thing? What is the correct file association for this setup?? Am I missing something? I'm new to the linux world but this doesnt make sense....p.s i wrote the st up to a cd and the same thing happens.. Is mandrake and red ha the best ti start with??
thankz

| While my first impulse was to say:
RTFM Llama
I'm supposed to be nice.
I might suggest that you check out any faq or help files that might be provided from the download site. My next suggestion would be to pick up a book somewhere. There are a few good suggestions on this forum. I liked Linux Administration for Beginners by Steve Shah. Publisher: McGraw-Hill Book Company. includes the full version of Red Hat Linux 7. Most come with a distro so you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
Roxio software that comes with your CD player is notoriously crippled and doesn't offer a lot of features. They want you to upgrade to the full product for all the bells & whistles, so it's hard to say what went wrong.

| Try searching for some freeware progs to burn the iso images. EZCD Creator sucks balls and is full of problems. | |

| Mandrake has a readme with their ISO image. the *.iso extention appears to be Roxio easy CD creator Cd rom image system that is supported with 3.5c version, 4.0 for some reason no longer support it automatically, but there is a work around. You can find more info in the readme file that is some where with in the distribution directory. I was able to use Ahead NEro 5.0 to burn the image on to the CDr. Ok I just found it hope it helps.Can be found at: ftp://ftp.orst.edu/.1/mandrake/iso/
Howto burn an ISO image ?
All the CD-Writing software can use ISO image to burn directly a CD-Rom.
Important note: take care to download the ISO in binary mode (FTP). By default Netscape download the file in ASCII mode which corrupt the image. You can check the integrity of the ISO file with the md5 key (md5sum mandrake.iso under Linux), go to http://www.etree.org/md5com.html to get the md5sum.exe version if you are using Windows)
Please avoid downloading the ISO with a 56K modem line. If the download
fails you can use "Resume" which allows you to continue the download. It
works with ftp (reget), ncftp, CuteFTP, Getright, ...
With Easy CD Creator:
--------------------
Open Easy CD Creator
Go to "File"
then to "Create CD from disc image"
make sure to change the bottom drop down menu ("Files of type:") to say
"ISO image files"
It will do the rest after you browse to the *.iso file
(Thanks for zacheyer)
With WinOnCD:
------------
you can select a
"track-image" project when you click the New button. So long as you are
in track mode, not file-system mode (how that looks depends on whether
you have 3.0 or 3.5) then dragging a track image file onto the CD window
should accept it as a raw track. WinOnCD uses .RAW as its own
extension
(Thanks Rick Jones)
With Nero Burning Rom:
----------------------
Open Nero.
Close the wizard if it is started automatically.
Go to "File"
then to "Burn Image...".
In the next dialog, click on "Image Files (*.nrg)" and select "All files
(*.*)".
Choose the .iso file and accept.
In the following dialog make sure:
- Type of Image is: Data Mode 1
- Block size: 2048
- Image header: 0
- Image trailer: 0
- All the checkboxes are unactive.
Click "OK".
In the next dialog check that the "write" and "finalize" option are active.
Click on "Write".
(Thanks Antonio Asensi)
With CD-Record:
---------------
CD-Writing HowTo:
http://howto.linuxberg.com/ptHOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO
For example:
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=4,0 mandrake.iso
You get the number on the SCSI bus number with "cdrecord --scanbus" |
