Dear All I need to burn data cd on my CentOS and open the pdf file on my MS Windows client . My cd drive is at /dev/cdrom that is mounted as /mnt/cdrom . To this end , I issued as the following : #cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom myfile But the file cannot be opened on ms MS Windows , nor the cd is usable afterwards . Can you please let me know how can I burn this data cd ? Thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can you please let me know how can I burn this data cd ?cdrecord needs a .ISO file as its input. you can use mkisofs to create one fromm file(s), its a fairly complex command with a LOT of options, but at its simplest, creating a simple RockRidge CD-ROM, mkisofs -o mycd.iso -r dir-with-files the specified dir will become the root of the CD. then you can use cdrecord to burn mycd.iso ... see the respective man pages for more options.

As for pdf files, I also have never seen AR in a yum repository, but I've never looked past adobe.com's web site, wehre you can download and install via rpm or in tgz format. Or you can do it the hard way. ;-) mhr

That is did you do something like: mkisofs -o myfile somedirectory where somedirectory is a *directory* containing: somefile.pdf 'man mkisofs' for all of the details for making an ISO9660 file system image> > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
