The easy way out is to make a diskdumpp into an image file, for example: dd if=/dev/hdc/ of=/home/bughunter/image.raw Then use cdrecord with the -data flag. The drawback of this procedure is that all read errors are dupplicated, too. But I had good results only doing that. regards, Tobias -- E-Mail: Tobias Kahre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 11-Mar-00 Time: 10:22:36

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. :) bug
