Burning an iso image on Mac OS X

February 13th 2008 Posted to Geekery, mac

I’ve recently downloaded edubuntu so I can install it on a spare PC (its default setup is as a thin-client server – something I want to play with). After downloading the iso, I need to burn it to a cd. Here’s how to do it, courtesy of Mac OS X Hints:

  1. Insert a blank disc.
  2. Start Disk Utility.
  3. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
  4. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
  5. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.

I also could’ve burnt it from the command line by:

hdiutil burn image.iso
