Burning an ISO image under Linux

On my laptop with an internal CDROM:


cdrecord -v -pad -tao -eject speed=8 dev=/dev/hdc sarge-i386-netinst.iso


BTW:
The image came from here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Or even just:


cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom sarge-i386-netinst.iso


And this time I went for:

http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/

which fixed some problems I was having with the 2.6 kernel not wanting to mount the root image on my old 233MHz machine... (turning off things in the BIOS and managing to boot Knoppix under 2.6 let me know it was possible)

It's funny how I know quite a lot about the history of the C Language, but don't write very much C, and know comparatively little about the history of Perl and write a LOT in it...!!!

I would love to be able to rattle off C programs the way I churn things out in Perl, but somehow I don't think that C really lends itself to that kind of development.

There certainly are times I wish I could write something in C to get better performance out of it, but when I try I often get muddled with where I am at and am not sure if I'm going about things the right way.

One day Conrad, I'll do the C course that you recommended I do (*cower* 10 years ago now!!!) which I still haven't done! :o(

I sometimes wonder if Casey is still using C as much as he did back then, and if so, what kinds of things he's using it for...
