Burn CD images in Linux command line

Posted by mypapit on 6 Dec 2006 in GNU/Linux, Tips & Guides, Ubuntu/Debian

This tip will be brief, it concerns about writing bootable linux iso images to CDROM. What you need is cdrecord, cd-writer drive, blank cd-r and iso image (and maybe mkisofs).

Howto burn ISO images to CD
Insert the blank CD-R, and run

cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cdrom ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

and you're done.

Howto burn (backup) files to Data CD
You'll need mkisofs and cdrecord to burn your data files to a CD,

Run,

mkisofs -r -J -o yourbackup.iso /home/path_to/your_files

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom  -data  yourbackup.iso

and that's the easiest way to burn cds on command-line linux.

   Thanks, was looking for a simple way to script this so I don’t have to run a GUI every time I just want to burn an ISO. I’ve wrapped your command in a short script, here it is:

   #!/bin/bash
   #
   if [ $# -ne 1 ]
   then
   echo “No ISO specified, run again with ISO called out.”
   echo ” usage: $0 ” >&2
   exit 1
   fi
   #
   cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=/dev/cdrom $1
   #
   exit 0
