Please be aware of these facts when using the CD/DVD burners at Seneca's computer labs:


  • Most labs at Seneca College require students externally boot their lab machines (i.e. from removable disk drive) in order to use the CD / DVD burner...
  • On the other hand, the TEL OPEN LAB (Rm. T2113) allows students to boot Internally in order to download CD / DVD images onto their Desktop, and then burn them.
  • A repository refers to a "storage area" that contains images and applications for various Operating Systems (including Fedora). Seneca college has a Fedora repository, which allows the student to QUICKLY download, and burn their BackTrack LIVE DVDs.
  • Here is a link to download Linux BackTrack:

The TEL OPEN LAB
(Rm. T2113) is one of the few areas at Seneca that allows the student to burn CD/DVDs without having to boot from an external (removable) hard drive.
Follow the instructions below to download and burn your Fedora 16 DVD and Fedora LIVE CD.

Procedure to Download and Burn a CD/DVD in TEL Open Lab:


  1. Set "Master Selector" on CPU to Internal.
  2. Power on Computer.
  3. Place CD/DVD media into the writable CD/DVD drive.
  4. To access the boot menu quicker, press ESC at the network boot procedure
  5. Select 2. Win 7 from the boot menu

    NOTE: It may be preferable to boot WINDOWS as opposed to Matrix
