Writing an ISO image to a CD using cdrecord

What follows is a distillation of information found at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue98/staff.html.

To find the address of your cd burner, as root enter:

cdrecord -scanbus

This should print out the addresses of devices useful to cdrecord. The relevant line on my system is:

0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'CD-RW CRX140E ' '1.0n' Removable CD-ROM
where 0,0,0 is the device address in question.

Now to write the image enter:

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 FC3-i386-disc1.iso

This will print out lots of information. When the writing is over, check the last line of output. On my system it looks like:

cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 10068 times full, min fill was 87%.

If the fifo was empty at all, it means the cd will be corrupted.
