Appendix A: Media 757 Some of these distributions
Appendix A: Media 757 Some of these distributions have downloadable versions available on the Internet. I recommend that you try a Linux distribution site such as DistroWatch.com (www.distrowatch.com) to see if there is a free version of any of these distributions to try out. Creating Linux CDs There are several tools you can use to create bootable CDs for either installing or just running Linux from CD images contained on the DVD. Before you begin, you need to have the following: . DVD or CD drive You need a drive from which to copy the ISO image of the CD you want from the DVD or CD that come with this book, depending on which medium contains the image that you want. If you don t have a DVD drive, download and verify Linux installation CD images yourself, as described in Chapter 7. Then burn those images to CD as explained later in this appendix. . Linux Bible 2005 Edition DVD or CD The DVD contains two different CD images that you can burn to CD and use to install that particular Linux. The CD contains three live CD images and one install image you can burn to CD. . Blank CDs You need blank CDs to burn the CD images to. . CD burner You can use a different drive than your DVD/CD drive to burn CDs. Or, alternatively, you can copy a CD image to hard disk, remove the DVD/CD, and burn the new CD image to a CD in the same drive. Unless you have two DVD/CD drives, you must copy the CD image to your hard disk before you can burn it. (If you have two drives, simply skip the steps for copying the CD image to hard disk.) Here s how to create bootable Linux CDs from a running Linux system (such as Fedora Core 3): 1. With a Linux desktop system running, insert the Linux Bible 2005 Edition DVD or CD into the drive. 2. If an icon appears on the desktop for the DVD, open it (double-click). (If an icon doesn t appear, mount the DVD manually by typing something like the following as root user: mount /dev/cdrom or mount /dev/hdc, depending on the location of your DVD or CD drive. Then browse to where that image is located from your desktop window manager. It s probably mounted on /mnt/cdrom or something like /media/cdrecorder.)
