Burning an ISO image to disc using K3B
Back to Getting PCLinuxOSBring K3b up and look to the top of the program. Image burning is not an option along with audio and data file burning. You must go to “Tools” and then choose “Burn CD Image” if you want to burn to a CD. If you would want to burn to a DVD disc, please make sure to pick "Burn DVD ISO Image."
Once you click “Burn CD Image”, your dialog box will open with many of the same options you are probably already familiar with, but with a few exceptions. I have created a screenshot for you so that you can see what the initial stage of burning an iso image looks like.
The first item you need to pay attention to is the field at the very top titled “Image to Burn.” If this is the first time you have used the iso burn feature, the field is probably blank. Click on the small folder to the right of the blank field and it will open your file manager. Navigate through the folders until you find the iso you want to burn.
One of those little things that's good to know
Once you have used the burn iso feature in K3b, the “Image to Burn” field will hold the last iso file you burned. When you start a new iso project, you may get a red error message under the field saying “file not found”. Don't panic. That will go away when you put the new iso file into the “Image to Burn” field.
And another thing: As you navigate to find your iso file, you may be wondering, “What the heck, I KNOW I downloaded that file to this folder...where is it?” Don't worry, it's there. Look at the bottom of your file manager and at the very bottom there is a field with “filter” to the left of it. Drop the arrow down and choose “iso9660 image files. Then try again and your iso's will show up nicely.
Back to the Image Burning
The next field to the right of “image to burn” is “image type” it should be set at “auto detection”. Leave it just like that and you will have no problems.
The Checksum
You will notice that when you chose an iso file to be burned, there was some activity from a progress bar in the large white field. What you saw happening was K3b calculating the “checksum” data.
When someone creates an iso file from data, a checksum algorithm begins and assigns a number to the file. Sometimes when we download data from the Internet, the files can become corrupted for one reason or another. The MD5 sum or checksum is calculated and assigned to a particular iso file so when you burn it, K3b will calculate the checksum as well and you can compare the two sums. If there is a single digit difference between the checksum you got with your iso download and the one K3b calculates, it means you have a corrupted iso file and it is no good.
Usually, re-downloading the file will fix the problem. If you receive conflicting checksums on the second attempt, then find another source to download the file because it is probably corrupt.
MD5 checksums are usually available for download as a separate file in the download directory where your iso file is located. In the case of PCLinuxOS, they are the .asc files with the same filename as the .iso files. They are small and only take seconds to download. The checksum shown in the screenshot is just as an example. Verify the checksum you get with the one in the .asc file by comparing them and seeing if they match.
Another reason you might get a bad checksum is... defective memory! If you get a differand and incorrect checksum everytime you check the .iso file, then it's time to run memtest86 to check if the memory gives errors. If it does then replace the defective RAM and do the memtest86 again.
Ladies and Gentleman, Start Your Burning!
Once you've verified the checksum and thus know the iso is correct, it is time to start the burning.
You might want to tune down the burning speed a little bit at this point. Using a speed of 8x - 12x is usually a good speed for burning, as it'll generally have a higher chance of success. Put in an empty CD-R, CD-RW or even DVD+/-R or RW and press the "Start" button at the top-right of the "Burn CD Image"-window. It will now open a new window showing the image burning status and progress. The data in the iso file is now copied to the CD. Once it is done, it'll pop open the CD-tray automatically and your brand new PCLinuxOS LiveCD is done! Literally hot off the press.
Once you have your CD, continue reading the Using the PCLinuxOS Live CD to get started using The PCLinuxOS LiveCD!

The next field to the right of “image to burn” is “image type” it should be set at “auto detection”. Leave it just like that and you will have no problems. At the middle of the dialog box, our old buddies “options” and “advanced” are back to keep us company. The options tab is self-explanatory and shows you things you should be comfortable with already. You can select which CD-burner (if you are fortunate enough to have more then one) to use and at what writing-speed to create the CD. Usually the defaults are correct, leave it as is.
The advanced tab only has two functions within its parameters. You won't have to change anything here, but if you are interested... If you click the advanced tab, you will see a dropdown menu named “data mode”. It is best to leave this set on auto. If you drop the menu, you will see three choices: Auto, Mode 1 and Mode 2. These modes deal with the way data is written to the disk and the “Auto” mode will read the data and choose the correct one. There are very few circumstances where you would want to change the mode to anything but Auto.
The second option you have under the advanced tab is “start multi-session cd.” Now this one can be important to you from time to time. When K3b begins to write data, it knows from your data choices when to “close” the disk. A closed disk means that no more data can be written to it and when K3b finishes the task, you cannot write anymore to the disk. If you choose to x the box “multi session cd”, that means you can let a task finish, then come back and add another file to it to be burned. You don't want that for iso image burning though.
