I've got the cdrom writer working. I'm using xcdroast ok. I was able
to create a cd using linux, no problem.
I'm looking to create an iso file from a redhat 5.2 cd, not the
commercial version, but a fully free one that happens to be bootable. I
have a specific need for that, as this product is going into an embedded
system for internal use, and we need to be able to rebuild it. There are
some drivers I've written for the 2.0.x kernel to drive custom hardware.
I've looked at excite and mamma, and the cd writing howto and the man
pages for cdrecord and the docs for xcdroast. I have found nothing for
linux that does what I want.
I want to duplicate this redhat 5.2 cd, including the bootable part.
the brand new adaptec cd creator version 4.01 that came with the drive no
longer duplicates a cd. It just copies the files, and so the new cd does
not boot.
Does anyone have something or a procedure under Linux that will give me
an exact iso image from the cd so the new cd burned from it is an exact
duplicate?
I'm thinking dd might work, but I've already got one coaster and don't
drink that much. :)
