xcdroast question.

I have a 700MB CD-R. How can I record an iso file of 733MB on this CD-R ? I was informed I can do this. Can there be any errors when doing this ? How to avoid them ?

Moreover, from this compressed CD, can I copy the ISO image back to the HD to burn more CD's ? If yes, how ? Please describe in detail.

Thank You.

I think you can only overburn a few MB- but not 33! Are you sure it's actually 733MB?

Piece of cake.

cat /dev/scd0 > yourimage.iso

OR

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=yourimage.iso

How's that for detail?

Excellent. Will this work for the compressed image also ? Thanks.
