I either don't understand the problem or its exact as j mentioned. After mounting it, just cp filename.ext /mnt/hd? I'm confused

well i keep getting a permission problem or an error saying cant write to file and the weird thing is that i was logged in to root when trying it the first time and now i tryed it under my user account but still nothing so for not ellaberating more on that. but thanks for the help.

Seems like you have the drive mounted as read-only to me...not sure how you'd change that though...

ok then anyone that is using redhat 9 is there any software that is already installed that will burn iso files on to a cd so that i can install linux from it. thanks.

the problem is that i downloaded 6 of the iso on windows and then downloaded 1 on to redhat cause that was what i was using and now i need to burn it on to a cd so i can install debian on my laptop.

Try this:

cdrecord --scanbus
cdrecord -v -eject speed=** dev=*,*,* file.iso

Just insert the speed to burn at and the 3 digits for the device (that's what cdrecord --scanbus will give you), and you're set to go.

Per your tag line you have a dual boot laptop. Does it have not have a burner in it?

[big_k105]

Try this:

cdrecord --scanbus
cdrecord -v -eject speed=** dev=*,*,* file.iso

Just insert the speed to burn at and the 3 digits for the device (that's what cdrecord --scanbus will give you), and you're set to go.

do i use /dev/cdrom or /mnt/cdrom for the dev=*,*,* and y is there three *
