[WYLUG-help] still trying to get this machine to copy cds/dvds

[Mike]

Hi, Folks,

I have still never managed to burn a CD or DVD using Linux and here are
some errors I am getting at latest attempt. First, when trying to create
the image with command mkisofs -r -J -o /tmp/image . (should that space
dot be there? I got it out of a magazine) I get a list of what it's
doing followed by a list of errors of which the following is the last
one, followed by a statement that I have used a wrong command:

mkisofs: Error:
./evolution/views/mail/custom_view-file:_home_mike_evolution_local_Inbox_subfolders_fsb_subfolders_branch.xml and ./evolution/views/mail/custom_view-file:_home_mike_evolution_local_Inbox_subfolders_fsb_subfolders_region.xml have the same Joliet name
bash: mkisofs:: command not found

Just to see what else is thrown up, using the command dvdrecord speed=2
dev=1,0,0 -v /tmp/img produces the following:

INFO: dvdrecord's functionality is now replaced by cdrecord
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent
defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Now, the same magazine suggests the bootloader will need to be modified,
and says append a line to lilo.conf append = "hdd=ide-scsi"

All very well, but I use grub so would that line work? I don't want
another disaster on my system. My /bott/grub/boot.conf reads:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda

Should I amend it, and, if so, how?

Many thanks 'cos I know you guys will come to the rescue again! If you
need anything more in order to be able to help, please let me know.
