| Quote (PhrozenFear @ April 27 2004,12:09) | I like that idea - having multiple versions on a single CD is smart - I've got DSL burnt onto some PocketCD's (they're only about 181 MB each), but it's still kind of a waste, especially since once you burn the ISO image, you can't burn anythin' else onto the CD - that is, I've never found out how. Because I'd also be interested in burning more on these pocketCD's, like either some music, or some relevant backup files (like Firefox or my programming module stuff).
So, any suggestions ? |
Here's a suggestion...
use cdrecord with the -multi option (i.e., multi-session) and mkisofs with the -C and -M options (for multi-session support). The process goes something like:
o First burn the downloaded DSL iso with "cdrecord dev=x,x,x speed=n -multi damnsmall-0.6.3.iso". (x,x,x is the correct device as returned by "cdrecord -scanbus".)
o create an iso of the additional files you want on the cd using mkisofs, say with something like "mkisofs -J -r -C y,z -M x,x,x -o out.iso <files>". The trick is to have the cd in the burner and run "cdrecord dev=x,x,x -msinfo" to get the values for y,z. You can even get fancy and put the cdrecord -msinfo command in back-ticks and have it run right in the mkisofs co usemmanin d.
o use cdrecord to add the session (i.e., out.iso) to the cd. Use -multi option again if you want even more sessions later.
Another tip: use mkisofs option -graft-points to "relocate" files and directories in the iso
good luck,
