Burncd

Revision as of 22:37, 29 October 2006

When using burncd your data must be put into a CD Image (iso file) before hand.

Install mkisofs

# pkg_add -r cdrtools

Make sure /dev/acd* have 666 permissions so users can write cd's

# chmod 666 /dev/acd*

Make the iso

# mkisofs -o file.iso -r <files>

Burn the CD

# burncd -f /dev/acd0 data file.iso fixate

Or do both commands in one:

# mkisofs -r mystuff | burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s max data – fixate

Shortcut (if you are burning to acd0 you don't have to use -f as acd0 is default)

# mkisofs -r mystuff | burncd data – fixate
