[ILUG] Simple howto making an iso image

[Paul O'Malley]

Hi

If you are one of those people having issues around downloading an
accurate image of your favorite Linux image try this:
wget ftp://ftp.site.org/path/to/image/real_image.iso
then open the real_image.iso.md5sum file and read it, it is in plain
text
run the following command on your Linux box:
md5sum real_image.iso

if the download was successful the output of your md5sum program will
match the downloaded one (all things being equal)

Then run this
cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -data -pad speed=6 cd.iso

the number after dev can be found from the output of 
cdrecord --scanbus

Have a fantastic day

Paul
