This is more of a confession than HOWTO but would like to share with all who may be having similar problem. For a longtime I was foxed on how to make copies of bootable CD's. Searching the web resulted in more confusion. First I was able to make some progress when I was able to make boot CD's from boot iso images downloaded from the internet. The command was fairly simple: "cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 /path/file.iso" Here speed was determined by my recorder and dev was found by looking at output of "cdrecord --scanbus" As downloading boot iso is a painful matter of 600mb+ next problem was how to make image from existing bootable CD? After lot of false starts and more than a few wasted CDR's this also turned out to be most simple. Just put the exiting boot CD in your drive and give: "cat /dev/cdrom > /path/filename.iso" I resisted of switching back to win and adopting a simple burn from Nero or such but it did take a lot of time in trying to clear out that there is no need to give path to image or boot.cat files etc. HTH to any one in similar situation.
