I want to save data from the hard drive to a CD. I have found out how to mount the partition, but I cannot burn it. The included CD burning package I could not understand at all. so through myDSL I installed (?) gtoaster. But, I cannot eject the iso CD! I wanted to put in a CDr, but, ishat not possible? Is it becsue DSL requires the iso CD to keep running? Anyway so then I tried the option from right clicking on the desktop "HD install". That apparently did nothing. Then I turned off the computer and turned on again and selected "save cd to hd and install" or something lke that. I saved it to HDA7 Then it was the same, the CD could not be ejected. So I turned it off and turned it on with no CD. But then I couldn't get any DSL at all. So I tried again, but turning it on with CD in, and then choosing the option "install from previously saved CD image on the HD" or something like that. And it did a few things and then came to something like "such and such is freaking out" or "such and such is panicking" or something. And then would go no further.

Could someone explain in a simple way (baby instructions) how I can burn this file to a CD?
Thanks!
Justin

Hello Woodlandjustin!

If you have enough RAM-memory try the "toram" option that makes it possible to eject the cd since the whole os is running directly from RAM. I use have used k3b to burn cd-roms and it works nice. It can be found in the mydsl repository. Hope things work out!

As always have fun,
