If you only want to put a bunch of files on a CD, then in Nautilus (if
you use Gnome), go to Go-CD Creator, put the files and burn. It's
really easy.

*rephrases what he said*

I want to take all my CDs, and make ISOs of them, so I can place them on
my server for everyone on the network to access.

*thinks that sounds better*

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/whatever/whatever.iso

If you want command line, k3b is good if you want pretty pictures and little 
progress bars.. (like I do).. :)

On Sun, 15 Feb 2004, Jeff Smelser uttered the following immortal words,

 dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/whatever/whatever.iso

Somehow this command doesnt work for certain game cd's. One result is that 
the cd drive tried endlessly to read data at a sector and then gives up 
saying it is bad. I guess that this must be due to safe disc or 
some other protection. The cd isnt bad it works fine.

Thanks for letting me know.  So far it seems okay.  I've only been doing
all my non-game CDs, though.  Haven't gotten to the games yet.

In many countries you have the legal right to make a backup copy of CDs,
so dd'ing game CDs isn't necessarily illegitemate. It's a shame that
certain dishonest manufacturers ship 'CDs' that are intentionally broken
and not specification-compliant.

Sometimes you will find that a game cd will rip fine, ie you can make a 
ISO using the dd command. But then when you burn a cd from it and install 
it and try to run it, the executable complains that please insert the 
hitman 2 cdrom.

This is because that I think the program checks to find out whether there 
are certain key marked sectors, or sectors written using low power. So 
when it cant find them it returns a error.

For this type of isos to work you need to to give your users the cracked 
executable, x-no-cd.exe.
