nope. > Does an iso need to be made first when using dd? What do you mean? I'm not sure of what are you trying to do. If you want to do cd-to-cd copy, you just insert the original CD in the tray, do a dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/file.iso And, as you see, dd will create the iso for you. Then you can burn that using cdrecord. It's a two-stage process. > What would the > dd syntax be to go from the directory to the CD or from the iso to > the CD, whichever is the most appropriate? I'm sorry, i don't understand the question. If you are trying to send an ISO file or a directory into de CD-RW, that's cdrecord's job, not dd's. Damian
