Package for burning

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Slackware-11.0

I have "slamd64-11.0-dvd.iso" imgage download on this box. I can't find K3B here. Which package shall I use to burn the ISO image. TIA.

Remark: I'm going to wipe out Slackware-11.0 and install slamd64-11.0 on this box.

cdrecord?


cdrecord -dev=/dev/cdrom (or whatever) slack.iso

Hi kern,

Tks for your advice.

cdrecord?


cdrecord -dev=/dev/cdrom (or whatever) slack.iso

It is a DVD iso image. growisofs will be more suitable. But I haven't figured out what options shall be up to format the DVD before burning and check DVD data quality after burning. Any suggestion? TIA

You can dl and install k3b. Check here

Hi rong and folks,

Tks for your advice.

The only reason not installing k3b/bashburn, the front-end package, is slackware-11.0 will be erased immediately after burning to be replaced with slamd64-11.0.

I'll install an additional CD-Writer on the box and run LIveCD to get the DVD iso image burned rather than waisting more time. Tks.


Edit:

The strange thing is;
# cdrecord -scanbus

can't find the device, the DVD writer.

Which kernel are you using with Slackware?

The 2.6 line no longer works with cdrecord's --scanbus option, you just need to specify the device (ie: /dev/hdc). I've never used a DVD burner under Slackware, but if it's anything CD burning there's a few things you need to be aware of... Since Slackware comes with 2.4 by default you would have to specify ide-scsi=/dev/hdc in LILO/GRUB as a kernel option (if you CD burner is /dev/hdc).

Isn't the program for burning dvd's dvdrecord? IDK I use front ends when doing end-userish tasks.

Hi bidi,

Tks for your advice.

2.4

Since Slackware comes with 2.4 by default you would have to specify ide-scsi=/dev/hdc in LILO/GRUB as a kernel option (if you CD burner is /dev/hdc).

What shall I add on lilo.conf and where? TIA

After that last block of stuff just add:

append="ide-scsi=/dev/hdc"

Like I said before, I'm not sure if this would work with DVD burners the same way it works with CD burners. This is the way for CD burners!

Hi bidi,

After that last block of stuff just add:

append="ide-scsi=/dev/hdc"

Tried

append="ide-scsi=/dev/hdc"

and

append="ide-scsi=/dev/hda"

(remark: only one ide device. HD on SATA)

# cdrecord -scanbus
still failed to display DVD-writer

It is quite strange to me. I'll wipe out Slackware-11.0 replacing it with slamd64-11.0. I'll install K3B on the new OS. Tks.
