daggahead Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 I hope that somebody here can help end the madness! OK, I downloaded the 3 9.0 CD ISO files and then I tried to burn the data that is in those ISOs to CD. After making a few new coasters, I looked around on the Web for an answer to my dilemma. I am having problems with CD1, specifically. By the way, I downloaded using Gtfp. Here's what I found and what I've tried: 1. Tried the "cdrecord" utility, using the following syntax: > cdrecord -v speed=6 dev=0,0,0 -data ./mandrake9_cd1_inst.iso When this finished, I mounted the cdrom and saw the following files: mandrake9_cd1_inst.iso README md5sum.90 This is not what I expected to see. I was hoping to see several files and directories. 2. I then tried using EasyCD Creator in Win2K. I created CD from ISO image. CD1 finished, I looked at the files, same damn thing! I went ahead and burned CD2 and it worked fine :o . I see several directories and files, as I had hoped. WTF? 3. Back in Linux, I mounted the ISO file of CD1 that I had downloaded: > mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 ./mandrake9_cd1_inst.iso /mnt/iso When the mount command finished, I CD'd to /mnt/iso, and guess what? Only three files: mandrake9_cd1_inst, README, md5sum.90. My questions are: Is the downloaded ISO file of CD1 messed up? I downloaded several CD1 ISO files, all from different mirror sites. Can they all be messed up? I doubt it. I haven't tried to burn CD3 yet, but I'm hoping it will work. I just don't understand why, even after mounting the ISO of CD1, I don't see all of the files and directories that I should on CD1. Any ideas? I didn't have this problem with Mandrake 8.2 ...

MottS Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 You should check the MD5SUM of each cds before to brun them. Here is a link related to that: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=5172. Now, if the sum is ok then you burn the iso this way: cdrecord -v -data -eject speed=6 dev=0.0.0 mandrake9_cd1_inst.iso Don't put the ./ before the file !! Hope this help MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggahead Posted December 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 The first time I downloaded the CD1 ISO I ran the md5sum and it checked out OK. Would the ./ in front of the ISO name really make a difference? Does cdrecord care if the path is relative or absolute??? I'll try the command you've recommended, sans "./" and let you know what happens. Just one other check - you have dev=0.0.0, whereas I've been using dev=0,0,0.

MottS Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 To go one directory up you need two dots (../). I don't know if cdrecord cares or not but I would not take chances. For dev=0,0,0 or dev=0.0.0, I would look into 'man cdrecord' just to be sure. MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggahead Posted December 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Just curious ... What about the fact that I tried "Create CD from Image" in EZ CD Creator? That did not work for CD1, but it did for CD2. :?: Cheers, Scott [/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Just on a side note, make sure you have the latest upgrades for your version of the OS. There have been lots of updates to CDRECORD and other related system resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggahead Posted December 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Good news! I was finally able to get EZ CD Creator to burn CD1 properly. I've loaded up MDK 9.0 and so far so good! Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
