Yes and yes, that's the idea.Lonestern wrote:can burn Linux mint gnome 10 rc and boot straight from a cd?
You have to burn it as an image file, not just copy the .iso to the cd. Make sure you burn at the slowest speed your burner supports and verify the burn. Also when you boot from it, run the Check this disc for errors menu option. Unless you get a perfect burn, your resulting installation will give problems.Lonestern wrote:I downloaded an Iso file so do I just burn it on a cd
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

I've not had luck booting from a CD-RW. I thought I would minimize the number of issue-causing variables by recommending a CD-R. Apologies if I am incorrect.

My experience with CD-RW is that they're good for a few rewrites (2-5), and then they just won't boot - as far as using them as LiveCDs, anyway. For data, I have no idea.
Re: How to Burn a bootable Linux mint cd?
My knowledge or what I have been told is that like tape Technology, Its surface that holds data is different than a regular R CD. The more times you erase a tape and rewrite the less reliable it becomes. A rewriteable CD is the same way. Burning and reburning causes the rewritable to degrade and the error rate increases. and this in my experience is not correctale. Hope this helpsMy experience with CD-RW is that they're good for a few rewrites (2-5), and then they just won't boot - as far as using them as LiveCDs, anyway. For data, I have no idea.

Re: How to Burn a bootable Linux mint cd?
Makes perfect sense, but I wasn't sure whether it has a similarly big effect on normal data as on a LiveCD. I suppose it matters, of course, but...
