Bug#280348: debian-installer-manual: how to burn the bootable cd-rom



Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: normal

The manual does not explain how to burn the iso image as a bootable
cd-rom.  I'm not one to burn cd-roms regularly (in fact I just
installed cdrecord to burn one) and it was not at all obvious at first
how to do burn at all (though that's Not Your Problem) let alone a
bootable one.  It would have helped me, and I think other people a lot
if you just said something like:

"To burn, type the following:
  cdrecord -eject -v dev=X,Y,Z -data -pad sarge-i386-netinst.iso
"
