<para>Would create backup CD to a CD-R disc at the highest
compression level, writing at speed 2 and ignoring the /mnt/dos and
/mnt/cdrom directories.</para>
<para>To see a detailed list of switches and their meaning, see the

<para>Replace '2' in '-Oc2' with the writer's speed. If
mondoarchive cannot find your CD-R then please add '-d 0,0,0' (or
whatever your CD writer's SCSI node is; usually, it is 0,0,0) to
the call.</para>
<para>Please insert the first disk in the writer while the PC is
chugging away. If Mondo needs additional CD-R(W) then it will ask
for them.</para>

Debian.</para>

<para>The resultant ISO's can be burned to CD's if you want (which
isn't a good idea unless you're a Mondo expert because they'll try
to restore over a network by default, which is silly cos the
archives are on the CD's). Or, you can boot from the Mindi floppies
(or mondorescue.iso) and hit ENTER a few times to restore.</para>
