+title:  Burning optical media in Linux 💿

+---
+This is a quick tutorial to show you how to burn any file to a piece of optical disk media!
+
+***
+
+### Warning ⚠️
+
+Once you burn an optical disk you cannot reburn it.
+
+Optical media does not have the best storage, normally under 1GiB so make sure your files align with the size of the optical media.
+
+***
+
+## What you will need 📋
+
+* Optical drive capable of writing to a CD
+* A computer with Linux 🐧🖥️
+* The ability to read instructions and to follow them 🧠
+
+***
+
+## Steps to burn 🔥
+
+You will only need one program to burn media to a CD; the name of that program is [wodim](https://linux.die.net/man/1/wodim), and it is part of a collection of programs called [cdrkit](https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/cdrkit), as in thename ofe this collection of programs that allow you to do a whole variaty of things withopticall media!
+
+***
+
+1) Install cdrkit, on some Linux distrobutions cdrkit is already installed, but on my main Linux distrobution [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org), it is not so check you have it installed, the package on your distro will most likely be called cdrkit.
+  
+
+> sudo pacman -S cdrkit
+
+  
+
+***
+
+ 2) You want to get whatever data you want into an ISO file, so if you had a file called movies that held movies you would use the command. As an example, I will be using the location of the Fallout 1 installation files on my system.
+  
+
+> mkisofs -o Fallout.iso -V "Fallout 1" ~/Downloads/Fallout<br>
+>Fallout.iso being the output ISO and ~/Downloads/Fallout being the directory with the movies in there.
+
+***
+
+ 3) Now the last command is the actual event of burning the optical media! So insert it into your optical drive and type this command.
+  
+
+> cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom ~/Downloads/Fallout.iso<br>
+> movies.iso being the output ISO from the last command.
+
+***
+
+## Overview
+Now it is time to sit back and wait for it to burn; do not get impatient; give it time, and it will burn. When it is done, you may enject the optical media from the CD drive, and it should have all the files you desire.
