-== CLI method ==
-''growisofs'' is a good tool for burning DVDs. Availability and installation will vary among Linux distros. Please consult your distro's documentation for installation. On Debian based systems the command is
-''sudo apt-get install growisofs''
-Basic usage is as follows (command is being run from the directory where the SparkyLinux .iso was downloaded):
+<WRAP center box 75%>
+|[[boot_old|<--- How to boot on old machines]]  |  [[start|^ Wiki Start Page ^]]  |
-''growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=sparkylinux-3.6-x86_64-e19.iso''
+</WRAP>
-Subsituting, of course, the name of the version of SparkyLinux you actually downloaded for ''sparkylinux-3.6-x86_64-e19.iso''
-The manual page (''man growisofs'') is the authoritative source for more information on options and usage.
