Now you??™re ready to begin installing (or booting) the Linux distribution you just burned. Refer to
Chapter 7 for general information on installing Linux. Then go to the chapter that covers your
particular distribution to find its specific installation procedure.
If you don??™t have Linux installed or K3b available at the moment, you can burn CDs from any
CD-burning application you have available. There??™s a nice overview of CD installation tools and
how to use them to burn CDs at the Gentoo Web site (www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml). It
describes disk-burning tools that are available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux systems.
If you have no GUI, or don??™t mind working from the shell, you can use the cdrecord command
to burn the ISOs. With a blank CD inserted and the ISO image you want to burn in the current
directory, here??™s a simple command line for burning a CD image to CD using cdrecord:
# cdrecord -v whatever.iso
See the cdrecord man page (man cdrecord) to see other options available with the cdrecord
command.
The growisofs command is another useful tool for burning CD and DVD ISO images.
See the growisofs man page for further information. NOTE
