I didn't understand exactly what you wanted. I assume you want to put your cdrom contents inside a big iso file.

Try this:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/my/iso/file conv=sync

If not, look for cdrecord, mkisofs... and friends

What OS (operating system) are you using?

If you are using windows you can download programs such as "undisker" to copy CDs into .ISO files.

Croger,

the command I gave to you works very well.

Try downloading a small floppy distro, if you don't have Unix at home...

And that's ok if you're chinese. I'm Brazilian and my english is bad too

HTH,
