Topic: Burn CD-rom

[ian hong]

We download E-smith-3.1-cdrom.iso.gz, uncompress using winzip to e-smith-3.1-cdrom.iso, exactly 132,000,792 bytes. Copy this file to a CD-R, create 1,.4M diskettes using rawite and your disk image file. Now the diskette boots ok, we answer the questions, but the system won't read the CD-rom. It read other Linux cd-rom ok after disk booting. We wonder if there was a step missing ? When you said in your instruction "Burn your CDROM from this file", what exactly it means? Does it means copy the file to CD-rom, or move the file to cdrom in a special way so the boot disk can process it ? Help Please.

The ISO file is a disc image file. You don't want to put that file on your disc, you want to use that file as a source to create your disc. The software you are using to burn the CD-ROM may or may not be able to read the information from an ISO file. Check the documentation for the software you're using. If you end up with a CD-ROM  that has one file on it, you've probably done it wrong.
