Ever wondered if there’s a quick and easy way to write an iso file to a CD-R/DVD-R ? Don’t want to open K3B or Brasero ? Here’s a handy way of writing the iso file.
First, switch to root using su
su
Next, type
cdrecord -scanbus
You’ll get something like this:
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'TSSTcorp' 'DVD+-RW TS-L632H' 'D200' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
Note the first 3 numbers corresponding to your CD/DVD writer.
Next, type
cdrecord -v dev=x,y,z <name-of-iso-file>
replacing x,y,z with the numbers obtained in the above line and the name of iso file as well! Simple!
To make it even simpler, you can wrap the command around a shell script accepting the filename as the input for even faster access. CLI FTW!

What if it’s not already in iso format? It would be good to link mkisofs to this article somewhere.
Nice one…
