Burn an ISO image to a CD right from the command line!


This is commonly used by system administrators who love simple, efficient and verbose method of writing an image into a Compact Disk. If you have an ISO file "image.iso", then you can use the "cdrecord" command:
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=/dev/cdrom /path/to/image.iso
Attributes:

-v : Verbose mode, shows a lotta information while writing the disk.. geeky :-D
speed = : you can set the burning speed. 8 means 8x speed
-multi : multisession mode (ooooh, cool feature for a command line tool)
