First burn with core 3

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to take my CDBurner machine (currently W2k) and make it dual boot, with a view to seeing if burning CDs was as easy in Linux.

Well Ive just done my first burn with Linux (about 120megs of data, in 5 files) to a cdrom, using a fresh install of Fedora Core 3. All I can say is that it worked brilliantly !! I placed a blank disk in the drive and it placed "Blank CDROM" icon on the desktop and opened up a window, I just dragged the files into it and from the menu chose "write to disk".

It was a piece of cake! I didnt realise it was that easy, hmmm. Now all I need to find out is if burning ISOs is as easy - if it is, then thats one less Windows machine in my home ! Hooray !

  • Burning an ISO: find the ISO file, right click, and say "Write to CD". That's it. Even easier :)
