Sorry, I hope that this is not a stupid question. I have downloaded the Ubuntu Iso - I have tried to burn a bootable disk with gnome toaster - I only seem to be able to make disks with the iso file on it. I tried dragging and dropping the file then right clicking and asking for a bootable ISO image but still got another fine .ISO coaster. Clearly my windows programs won't read these - how do I make a loadable disk from the ISO with gnome toaster? Thanks for the all the advice Cheers

You'll need to get gnome toaster to burn an image, rather than dragging the file into the file list. I don't have gnome toaster handy, so can't tell you exactly how to manage this.

A quick search implies that it's not really possible with gnome toaster; while I hate to answer a Sendmail question with exim, gnome-toaster seems unmaintained; perhaps K3B, Gnome Baker or Coaster might suit your needs better? What distribution are you running? Craig

Even easier, recent Gnome's (> 2.10 I believe) allow you to simply right click on an ISO and select "Burn to disk". I've used it several times, it works magically and saves installing yet another CD burning application. -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz

Thanks for the all the advice Cheers you can do it via commandline with a command like cdrecord -v dev=devicename(ie /dev/hdb or 0,0,0 for scsi emu) speed="24" file.iso
