Subject: Re: [ale] ISO image from a mounted CDROM




There's 2 choices really I've used.

While mounted run:
  mkisofs -J -R -V $1 -o Image.iso /mnt/cdrom

or unmount it and run the dd line below.  Neither one has any particular
advantages as the mounted CD wont creates a defragged or smaller image
than the original CD.  If you go the dd option below you can pass
different block sizes and make it faster if it's a very large CD but
that's probably not worth it on most modern CDROMs.

Thus spake james at sumners.ath.cx (james at sumners.ath.cx):

&gt; I am not sure that is possible. An ISO format copy is a bit for bit 
&gt; copy of the CD. You could build your own .iso with mkisofs if you are 
&gt; unable to unmount the CD. The easiest way to create the .iso, however,

&gt; is to unmount the CD and `dd if=/dev/&lt;cd_device&gt; of=cdcopy.iso`.
