Burning an image to a CD or DVD

Many systems provide the cdrecord command (on Alpine it is provided by the cdrkit package) to write an image to a disc. For example:

cdrecord -v speed=0 alpine-standard-3.20.3-x86.iso

If there's only one CD drive on the system, it should be auto-detected. If not, find the device name using lsblk and specify the dev option. For example:

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=0 alpine-standard-3.20.3-x86.iso

 == Burning an image to a CD or DVD ==
-On systems that ship cdrtools (e.g., Gentoo, openSuSe, NetBSD, Slackware), you can use <code>cdrecord</code> to write an image to a disc, for example:
+Many systems provide the <code>cdrecord</code> command (on Alpine it is provided by the {{pkg|cdrkit|arch=}} package) to write an image to a disc. For example:
+{{cmd|cdrecord -v speed{{=}}0 alpine-standard-{{AlpineLatest}}-x86.iso}}
-<pre>cdrecord -v speed=4 alpine-standard-3.8.0-x86.iso</pre>
-If there's only one CD drive on the system, it should be auto-detected. If not, find the drive using <code>lsblk</code> and specify the <code>dev</code> option, for example:
-<pre>cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=4 alpine-standard-3.8.0-x86.iso</pre>
-Debian has <code>cdrskin</code>, which can be invoked just like <code>cdrecord</code> above.

-== Creating an image from a CD ==
-To do the converse operation, copying a CD to an ISO image, just do:
-{{Cmd|dd if{{=}}/dev/cdrom of{{=}}/path/to/cdimage.iso}}
-== Mounting an ISO image ==
-To mount an ISO without physically burning it to a CD:
-<!-- "mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/cdimage.iso /mnt" doesn't work with BusyBox's mount -->
-{{Cmd|modprobe loop
-LOOP{{=}}`losetup -f`
-losetup $LOOP /path/to/cdimage.iso
-mount -t iso9660 -o ro $LOOP /mnt
-...
-&#35; when finished
-umount /mnt
-losetup -d $LOOP &#35; this step may happen automatically when you umount}}
