I'm waiting anxiously new 0.80 but I've broken main HD boot partition and I have no a big disk where install Knoppix or so for burning new dsl's version so I'm guessing how to use the dsl's tools for do that (burn-bash isn't it?) When I had mi HD I used Knoppix cd burning tool (do not remember its name) or win95 easy cd creator Now I only have an old 4Gb disk with 3.Gb for saving dsl extensions and stuff and 2 very little partition one for dsl image and the other for swapping I loved Knoppix tool because it was as easy as easy-cd-creator was and working under linux never loose a copy (I can not said same of burning under win95 or later :-( ) So if somebody know how to use burn-bash...will be wellcome!
Tks!

okey odokey first thing you do open an xterm,type cdrecord scanbus
this gives you the address of you cdwriter usually something like 0,0,0 and a description of you cdwriter
then you type
cdrecord ( followed by the address of your writer) ( path/to /your/iso/image)
e.g
cdrecord 0,0,0 /home/dsl/dsl-0.7.3.iso

That's all? wow..it seems very easy
Must be root?
I ussually use RW CD any command to erase an old CD? if not I'll use a new one don't bother but if I can learn how to reuse will be better if do not I'll use a new one!
:-) Tks!

there is a command for blanking but not at dsl pc cant remember, the above was from memory........so there may be an additional command needed
try cdrecord --help........
may give you a list of options and variables to try...
or you could get gcombust from the repository for a graphical interface.......

So not being root as dsl user only!

FYI,If you want to use a graphical tool to burn CDs, try installing the "gcombust.dsl" extension.
It is not as easy to use as the "k3b" program that comes with knoppix but in my opinion it is easier to use than bashburn or the command line (although bashburn is cool if you have to work in text mode and the command line will work fine if you do some homework first).
You can try the gcombust autodetect to try and find your CD-RW drive. If not, open an xterm and type: "sudo cdrecord -scanbus | more" and it should tell you the address of your CD burner.
Good Luck.

I'll try gcombust because I tryed with cdrecord and
a) It erases (or so it seems) an old cdrw (cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -eject blank=fast)
b) I copyed some stuff (cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -eject /bla/bla/bla but I can not see what it has recorded so...I reboot with an w95 floppy with cd drivers and when I type 'dir' w95 shout me about some inconsistent format or ISO 9
So I assumed cd was bad recorded I've installed gcombust.dsl
really seems little confusing than k3b
I cotinue trying it!
See you later

gcombust is an excellent tool. As an avid hater of most things related to Qt (Hydrogen and Celestia being exceptions due to lack of gtk equivalents), I quickly threw out k3b after finding this.

hmmmmmmmmmmm yes I'm really thinking it is let me try it a little more
From XP to DSL passing through SuSE Mandrake -------> Knoppix --> DSL it's a long trip isn't it?
