Re: Burning Debian CDs with Windows/NT software
Salam Arifi!
You need an iso9660 aware burning tool on NT.
Don't listen to thoose who say this can't or shouldn't be done... I
have Debian 2.0 Distribution and Contrib CD's I made on the the NT
machine at work.
You need to download this (free software):
ftp://ftp.cdarchive.com/pub/goldenhawk/download/cdr35c-e.exe
This is a self-extracting executable, with Goldhawk's command-line
based 32 bit cd writer software. The programme you want here is
FILE2CD.EXE.
Just open a CMD console, and type:
x:\<path>\file2cd
for a list of options. It's quite smart, and generally can locate the
burner on your machine, without extended command-line options.
The only one you probably need is the postgap option, for non-joliet,
non-MS compatible CDs.
I succesfully burned several CDs on the first attempt with the command:
c:\utils\file2cd c:\isoimage\binary-i386.iso /POSTGAP
It took about 36 Min. for each burn, at 2x speed.
Good Luck!
