Default Creating bootable CD

Hello to everybody!

I want to create bootable CD in RedHat Linux. I had created the CD of RHEL 5, but it was not created as bootable. Only data was written to the CD. So kindly help me to create the bootable CD for RHEL5.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Hrishikesh

No, I have bootable RHEL5 CD, which I have got while training. I want to create a clone CD for backup. I was trying with mkisofs command to make new CD bootable was not sucessful.

Do you have to CD drives? If not, you need to make copy of 1st cd to hard disk and then burn hard disk copy to a new empty cd.
Make a copy of first disk
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso
Run following to find out cdrw name, enter:
Code:
cdrecord -scanbus
Now, insert empty disk, enter:
Code:
cdrecord -v -dev=ATA:1,0,0 speed=4 /tmp/cdimg1.iso
See our tutorials for details
  1. Linux creating CD-ROM ISO image
  2. Howto: Linux write (burn) data to DVD or DVD/RW
  3. How do I write CD at Debian Linux command prompt
