To modify JPEG images on the command line you 1.82 +can also use <code>jpegtran</code>, installed by default on SliTaz, <code>jpegtran</code> allows you to 1.83 +rotate images via the <code>-rotate</code> option. To find out all of the options available for these 1.84 +tools, just specify the <code>--help</code> option.

When used with <code>genisoimage</code>, it can also create images in the 4.62 +ISO 9660 format. Burning on the command line requires us to know the device/writer (dev) 4.63 +name and wodim provides several possibilities to know which drive to use and specify it when burning 4.64 +to optical media. If you run wodim with the <code>-devices</code> option, it will automatically 4.65 +search for a good device and display it, the <code>-checkdrive</code> option allows you to check the 4.66 +recognized device and <code>-scanbus</code> will display in relation to the system bus. 4.67 +Examples (as <em>root</em>): 4.68 +</p> 4.69 +<pre> # wodim -devices 4.70 + Or: 4.71 + # wodim -checkdrive 4.72 + For the bus: # wodim -scanbus 4.73 +</pre> 4.74 +<h4>Create an ISO 9660 image</h4> 4.75 +<p> 4.76 +To burn data on to a CD/DVD, you must first have an ISO image. To begin we must create a directory to 4.77 +contain all the files to be burnt, you can copy your files on the command line with <code>cp</code>, 4.78 +the file manager Clex or graphically with emelFM2. To create a directory named <code>iso/</code> 4.79 +in the root of user space and copy all the files contained in <code>Documents/</code>: 4.80 +</p> 4.81 +<pre> $ mkdir ~/iso 4.82 + $ cp -a Documents/* ~/iso 4.83 +</pre> 4.84 +<p> 4.85 +Create an ISO image named <code>image.iso</code>, using the <code>genisoimage</code> tool and 4.86 +specify the root directory containing the files to be included in the ISO: 4.87 +</p> 4.88 +<pre> $ genisoimage -o image.iso ~/iso 4.89 +</pre> 4.90 +<p> 4.91 +Note that there are many options that you can use to create ISOs, one of the most widely used is the 4.92 +extension <code>-R</code>, signifying <em>Rock ridge</em>, this allows the use of names of up to 255 characters, 4.93 +it also supports symlinks and file permissions. To see all the available options, 4.94 +simply type <code>-help</code>. Example of creating an ISO image using the <code>-R</code> option: 4.95 +</p> 4.96 +<pre> $ genisoimage -o image.iso -R ~/iso 4.97 +</pre> 4.98 +<h4>Burn an ISO image</h4> 4.99 +<p> 4.100 +To burn an ISO image in the 9660 format either created by yourself or downloaded from the web, 4.101 +you must use <code>wodim</code> specifying the proper device (<code>dev</code>) to burn 4.102 +the CD/DVD. Example using the verbose mode (<code>-v</code>), with the <em>device</em> <code>hdc</code> 4.103 +and data contained in an ISO image named <code>image.iso</code>: 4.104 +</p> 4.105 +<pre> # wodim -v dev=/dev/hdc image.iso 4.106 +</pre> 4.107 +<p> 4.108 +Another example setting the (<em>speed</em>) to burn as 8x : 4.109 +</p> 4.110 +<pre> # wodim -v speed=8 dev=/dev/hdc image.iso 4.111 +</pre> 4.112 +<h4>Erase CD-RW/DVD-RW</h4> 4.113 +<p> 4.114 +You can quickly erase a CD-RW/DVD-RW using wodim with the blank=fast option. Example using the 4.115 +<em>device</em> <code>hdc</code> in verbose mode: 4.116 +</p> 4.117 +<pre> # wodim -v blank=fast dev=/dev/hdc 4.118 +</pre> 4.119 +<p> 4.120 +Or you can have a full erase using the blank=all option (this will take a bit longer): 4.121 +</p> 4.122 +<pre> # wodim -v blank=all dev=/dev/hdc 4.123 +</pre> 4.124 + 4.125 +<a name="nano"></a> 4.126 +<h3>Nano</h3> 4.127 +<p> 4.128 +The default text editor in SliTaz is nano.
