Thanks, Jack. I have used
iso2dvd Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
where iso2dvd is a the following script:
------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr1="$1"
eject
exit 0
------------------------------------
Unfortunately, it is not working:
$ iso2dvd Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
*:-( "/dev/dvd=Fedora-18-x86_64-**DVD.iso": unexpected errno:No
such file*
or directory
$
what if you do absolute path to file? eg,
iso2dvd /home/paul/downloads/Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
??

I use wodim, it just takes care of "everything"
wodim Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
Thanks, Judith. Unfortunately, it did not work with wodim.
By chance, it worked by given
/dev/sr1
to the growisofs command. How could one determine that the media was placed at
/dev/sr1
Your CD/DVD drive will appear as /dev/sr[some-number]. Some systems have
two drives, so they'll be /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1. Depending on
how your machine was installed, your first drive may be /dev/sr1.
I've not sorted out why exactly, but I've seen it.
Usually the udev rules also set up appropriate symlinks in /dev to
point at the devices. For example, /dev/cdrom will generally point to
the appropriate device:
root@prophead ~]# ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 15 11:23 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
It should also create a /dev/dvd symlink which will also point at the
correct device, but none of my F17 systems seem to set up /dev/dvd*
links anymore (boo!).
Also note that if you have two drives, you'll still have some questions
as to which drive is what. The system will have /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1,
and quite possibly symlinks like /dev/cdrom (pointed at /dev/sr0) and
/dev/cdrom1 (pointed at /dev/sr1).
After installing blank media, you can look at /var/log/messages or the
output of dmesg to see which drive saw the new media.
My recommendation is to feed "/dev/cdrom=/path/to/iso/image" to
growisofs and see if that'll get you anywhere or stick with brasero
to burn your disks.
Yes, it's confusing if you've not dealt with it before.
