Re: Trick to burning a bootable Debian CD?
Burning the CD as an image using Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 on my WindowsXP
machine results in a CD with a directory structure that looks like it
should, from Explorer (it's comparable to my purchased CD, which does boot).
Presumably, the image also provided any required system files. But can I
confirm that from within WindowsXP? Also, is it OK to use a CD-RW, or is
there some subtle difference? Does the CD need to formatted first, or would
that just impress "non-Linux-ness" onto it?
Are there any freeware utilities to burn an ISO image to CD (e.g.,
iso2CD.exe or something) that run under Windows? The CD burning applications
appear to contain numerous features I don't need for this particular
purpose, and which only serve as potential sources of error.
