  7. Burning a CD (Linux/Unix)

Burning a CD (Linux/Unix)

From a GUI

Tools to look for on the system:

  • Brasero
  • K3b

From a terminal

Many systems use CDs to transfer data from the mission system network to the Xylok Scanner host. If your system does not have a graphical tool to create CDs like Brasero, you can manually burn using the following steps:

  1. Open a terminal
  2. Make a directory to layout the CD in: mkdir cdtemp
  3. Copy the files you want to burn into cdtemp
  4. Make a CD image: mkisofs -J -rock -o disk.iso cdtemp
  5. Become root
  6. Burn the CD: cdrecord -vv -eject disk.iso
  7. Remove the temporary directory and image: rm -r cdtemp disk.iso
