[sllug-members]: Re: Writing a bootable linux DVD ?

[Elijah P Newren]

I haven't ever burned DVDs so I'm not sure what the tools are for doing
it.  Anyway, I'm betting someone one the SLLUG list (Salt Lake Linux
Users Group) is likely to know; I'll send this email to them to ask
them.  You may want to consider signing up for the list.  It's free and
is just a place for people to ask each other Linux related questions.
You can do so at

The few things I do know, in case you want to google it:  The command
line tools for cd burning are mkisofs and cdrecord; I remember seeing
growisofs and dvdrtools (dvdrwtools?), which may be a good starting
point for a google search.  Also, k3b and gnomebaker are GUI tools that
might handle it for you.

Hope that helps.
