===================================

Depending upon the operating system you like to run on your computer,

you will use different tools to burn your LESS Networks Installation CD.

· For MacOS or MacOSX, you might use Roxio’s Toast.

· Under Windows, Nero’s Burning ROM or RecordNow.

· Under Linux, perhaps Cdrecord.

The following are CD-burning examples using some of these programs.

1. Burning your CD with Toast (MacOS and MacOSX)

Select “Disk Image” from the “Other” menu in Toast.

Drag the file “less_boot_v099.iso” onto Toast.

Toast should automatically recognize it as an ISO 9660 boot

image and it should look something like this:

You may now burn your boot CD.

2. Burning your CD with Nero (Windows)

Select “Data” and “Make a Bootable Disk” from the main

menu:

Select “Burn Image” from the “Recorder” menu and

select the “less_boot_v099.iso” file:

Select “Burn Compilation” from the menu and make sure the settings match the settings below.

Now burn your boot CD and you’re all done!

3. Burning your CD with RecordNow (Windows)

Select “Data” and “Make a Bootable Disk” from the RecordNow MAX Wizard menu:

Select “Make a Data Disc” from the “RecordNow MAX Wizard” menu and

select the “less_boot_v099.iso” file:

When prompted with:

“You have selected a ISO image file. Would you like to create

a disc with the contents of this file?”

click “Yes” from the “Create a new Data Disc” menu, and the boot CD will be burned.

4. Burning your CD with Cdrecord (Linux or MacOSX)

Following is the Linux command that was executed to create the ISO filesystem:

> mkisofs _R –b boot/boot.img –c boot/boot.cat –o /v/00/less_boot_v099.iso /v/02/RedHat8.0-trim/

Following is the Linux command that was executed to burn the boot disk:

> cdrecord –dev 1,3,0 speed=4 /v/00/less_boot_v099.iso
