Your linux must have cdrecord (rpm) package installed to burn iso files.
First
you must chek md5sums of iso files
# md5sum *.iso
Check
where your cdwriter
is located:
# cdrecord scanbus
(it was 0,0,0 in our computer, may be different locations on yours)
Burn
iso files to CDR
medium
# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=2 Pinux1i686disc1.
iso
# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=2 Pinux1i686disc2.
iso
# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=2 Pinux1i686disc3.
iso
if you burn isos files to CDRW
medium the command will be:
# cdrecord blank
fast dev=0,0,0 speed=2 Pinux1i686disc1.
iso
# cdrecord blank
fast dev=0,0,0 speed=2 Pinux1i686disc2.
