[NTLUG:Discuss] 2 Questions about creating CD's from iso images.

[Wayne Dahl]

Hi again.

I have two questions about making usable CD's of iso images I've
downloaded off the Internet.

#1...I've downloaded 5 iso images of RH 8.0, plus a documentation iso (I
think this is the set you would get if you bought it from RH).  I have
the iso images in my /home/Wayne/RedHat8.0 directory.  The filenames all
begin with psyche-i386-disc and are labeled disc1.iso thru disc5.iso. 
The documentation I've seen doesn't seem to work.  The first question
is, how do I convert those iso images into what I'm looking for...usable
CD's for upgrade?  I have downloaded the MD5SUM files...how do I use
them to verify the ISO images?

#2...I've attempted to use X-CDRoast from my user account- Wayne...and
the drive does a lot of accessing after inputting the root password the
system asks for after starting the program...but X-CDRoast never seems
to start.  It starts just fine if I'm logged on as root, but not as a
normal user.  From what I saw of it as root, I'd prefer to use it
instead of Gnome Toaster.  What do I have to do to get it to work?  When
I was logged on as root, I set up my normal username as one of the
allowable users in X-CDRoast, so I'm not sure why it won't start, much
less ask for the root password.

I know these are probably considered elementary questions, but the
research I've done trying to get this to work doesn't seem to really
tell me anything.  

Oh, the CD-RW I have is a Verbatim 321240AL IDE drive running under RH
7.3.

Thanks,

Wayne
