How to copy a cdrom

2. Put a blank cd in the writer (bottom)

3. /usr/bin/cdrw -c -d cdrom1 -s cdrom0




How to burn your own cd image

1. Create a directory for yourself in your home dir . Copy any data you want

to burn to that directory. Make sure that it is less than 650MB (du -k) if you

want it to fit on an ordinary (74 min) cdrom

2. Create an image file on /tmp on diplomacy

/usr/bin/mkisofs -r -J -o /tmp/<imagename.img> /home/<you>/<dir>

3. Mount the image to make sure it was written correctly and check it:

/usr/sbin/lofiadm -a /tmp/<imagename.img>

(this will return a lofi mount point, such as /dev/lofi/1 for this example)

/sbin/mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

ls /mnt

/sbin/umount /mnt

/usr/sbin/lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1

4. Record your cd according to the above steps

5. Delete your image so the next person has room to create a new one

rm /tmp/<imagename.img>
