If you want a luser-friendly alternative (I heard this one is like
nero), you can try kreateCD (its a debian package in stable. i think
its not there in the testing CDs that I gave you). You may first have
to use the woody ISOs to install KreateCD. You can do this as follows:
1. mount the ISOs over loop
for i in $(seq 1 7)
do
mount -o ro,loop -t iso9660 /wherever/woody/woody$i.iso /mnt/woody/$i
done
2. Add entries to /etc/apt/sources.list for using these ISOs:
for i in $(seq 1 7)
do
echo "deb file:/mnt/woody/$i woody main contrib" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb file:/mnt/woody/$i woody/non-US main contrib" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
done
3. tell apt about you changes: goto dselect; select 'update'
4. install kreateCD:
apt-get install kreatecd
have fun!
