Multiboot DVD "The Best of Linux" Edition

All,

The linuxidentity magazine came out with a "Best of Linux Edition" that has a multiboot LiveCd (DVD) that contains: Opensuse, Mandriva, Ubuntu, and Fedora. I have attempted to create an image of the DVD using cygwin, dd if=/dev/scd0 of=multiboot.iso. I then copied this iso over to my opensuse box and tried to burn the DVD image, however I have been unsuccessful in creating the DVD. If needed I can post the error log.

Question:

1) Does anyone know where I can get a valid iso of this disc?

2) Am I using the dd command correctly, do I need to pass additional parameters in order for the burn to work correctly?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You can create an ISO image with dd, but you cannot burn it with dd.

    dd if=/dev/scd0 of=commonlinux.iso
    cdrecord -v dev=/dev/scd0 commonlinux.iso
  • Thx for the input, however I used k3b to do the burning. I have attached an image of the error log. Can someone provide debug assistance, not sure what all of it means. I am already burning at 1x k3b.jpg

    Um, it kinda looks like a bad burner ? the only thing with that though is, it could be alot of stuff, heh


    Um, try cdburner in the commandline

    something like ehhh

    cdrecord -scanbus - find the device name

    cdrecord -v -eject speed=? dev=?drive filename

    Yeah, it's something like that -- I'd suggest you google on how to use cdburner though, lol. I haven't had a use for it in along time :>

    try this site:

  • Alot of times these errors appear due to the type of DVD you are using with your hardware. Have you tried a different disc, or a more expensive type of DVD-R disc?
