I've downloaded the dvd iso for FC4 (about 2.6 GB).
I'd like to burn it using the local university pc, which has scientific RH insalled, but I dont know how. Do I have to be root for this?
I have used it that pc in the past to burn dvd's i.e.
dvdrw_image DirName
and
then
dvdw_write
you could use k3b
or xcdrost
or sumin
i only know how to do it via gui
maybe even ask a lecturer there?
Question...........
Are you using a DVD burner?
How to burn ISO image to DVD:
This obviously depends on what system you're using to burn the image. I'm assuming that you're using Linux. If you're trying to do this under Windows, then I can't help. Even under Linux, it all depends on what's installed on your system.
Under Fedora Core 3, this works nicely for me:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=FC4-i386-DVD.iso
where FC4-i386-DVD.iso is your ISO image,
and /dev/hdc is your DVD-burner device.
(try dmesg | grep -i dvd to identify your device)
You might also try dvdrecord:
dvdrecord -dao dev=ATA:1,0,0 FC4-i386-DVD.iso
where you need to replace 1,0,0 with the appropriate numbers for your burner
(do a dvdrecord --scanbus to see what you should use.)
In both cases, you'll need to be root unless your system is configured to allow user write access to the DVD-burner.
Hope that works for you!

Don't know if this will help. It burnt my Puppy ISO OK but not tested on DVD.. Look for BurnCDCC. Obviously this is a windows based item. :?:
