Creating ISO from CD


I need help. I have small network at home. I have already installed linux in one pc. I want to install other pc too but somehow this pc cannot read CD. I was reading the documentaion which says you can install from iso files provided these are available in the hard drive. It is dual boot pc. I wanted to create iso images from cd using the following command. The command was run as root in the PC where linux is running.

mkisofs -r -o /mnt/xp/shrike-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom

Look like it did start but stopped giving following error

mkisofs: permission denied. unable to open disc image file

Any solution ? Or is there any alternative to create iso ? I want to avoid downloading iso files.

Thanks,

Iqbal

This article pretty much covers what you want to do. You would need to put the iso file(s) on your existing system and then create a network boot disk and then use nfs to access the iso file(s). It's all covered in this article.
