Re: Just about to install linux...

I know what RTFM means, and I just tried it. But to be honest, when in an opperating system (windows granted), I have found in the past that figuring out things for myself cost me three computers. That's why I tend to ask now, just to be on the safe side.

Cheers,

Chris Norman.

Dude, I hate to say this but I think it's about time you rtfm. In saying that, I am helping. You're never going to get anywhere with linux if you don't start figuring things out for yourself.

If you don't know what rtfm means, you can look that up too.

Can I use the Record CD (command line tool) which is linked on the page?

I like the look of that. It says it records data CDS, to be fair, I never use hardware much past my hard disk and a pair of speakers, so I wouldn't know if data CDs were bootable or not.

Can you help please?

Cheers,

Chris Norman.

I posted this to the NFBCS list a few months ago:
------

I found a nice accessible utility for burning ISOs in Windows. I guess you can copy files to a CD in Windows XP by merely dragging them to the drive. But burning ISOs is a problem. However, I found a utility that does what Windows probably should do: if you right click on a ISO file one of the menu selections is to burn a CD. Very nice. And the dialog box that appears when you click that option works with JFW.

Only problem... the utility is still in beta. Seems to work though. oh, and the web site is kind of disorganized. I'll provide a download page and a documentation page...

PS: I have absolutely no connection with the developer of this tool.
