I've been wanting to try out syllable from this moths LXF cover disk which involves buring a (bootable) iso file to a CDR. This is casuing me some grief and only a small amount of success.
I tried two different windows progs on the wife's (XP) laptop, Nero and Sonic - neither works. The I downloaded a free CD burner for windows, tried the 'burn iso' option, gave it the file name and bingo it worked. So at least I know the iso file is OK.
The I dug out my old Iomega 4X USB 1.0 burner and plugged it into my Slackware laptop. As roo cdrecord -scanbus shows the drive OK. However, according to LXF all I need to do to burn the iso is:
cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 isofilename.iso
cdrecord goes off and writes a file of the right size, I can see where it has been burned on the disk but it don't boot. What am I doing wrong?

Belay that, I fixed it - 'twas a duff CDR. Works fine now.

Not much that I can see, is the disk even readable in the same machine on the Iomega drive ? Can you see a sane file-system structure on the disk once you have burned it ?
