Burning CDs from HMC ISO images on Linux

  1. If it is not already installed, install the Linux package "cdrecord". To determine if the package is installed, enter the following command:
    rpm -qi cdrecord
  2. Download all of the HMC's ISO images to your Linux system.
  3. Determine the CD recorder device ID by executing the following command:
    cdrecord --scanbus
    In most cases the output of this command will be "0,0,0".
  4. Execute the following command:
    cdrecord dev=devid fs=4096k -v speed=20 -dao -eject -pad -data <file>

         where:

    devid is the CD recorder device ID and <file> is the iso file

  5. Repeat Step 4 for each of the HMC CD images.

Note: You can use a different method to create a CD from an ISO image. For example, if you have a PC with software that allows the creation of CD media from an ISO image, you can use that software.
