Description of problem: I was looking at the instructions for burning to CD/DVD and noticed that the step for checking that cdrecord is installed is: rpm -q cdrecord followed by: yum install cdrecord To install it. On my RHEL 6 VM however I can see that cdrecord has been replaced, there is a wrapper to libburn which replaces it called cdrskin. So the steps would be to install the cdrskin package, and use the cdrskin binary to burn the disk. Just to make life even more complicated, yum install cdrecord now installs a cdrecord binary that serves a completely different purpose to what people are historically used to. So we need to clear this up in the documentation. http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Hypervisor_Deployment_Guide/sect-Deployment_Guide-Preparing_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_Hypervisor_installation_media-Preparing_a_RHEV_Hypervisor_from_a_CD_ROM_or_DVD.html
Not 100% sure but I think wodim is the cdrecord replacement, functionality wise. An alternative in graphical environments is brasero but this assumes a lot about the machine being used.
Created attachment 570422 [details] Patch for wodim/cdrecord. Patch I applied to the install guide, basically all cdrecord references become wodim, plus a few minor edits. Something equivalent will need to happen in the Hypervisor Deployment Guide.
