dd command on fedora 13 "no such file or directory"?
i got this problem on fedora 13, i've always used the dd command to make backups of my cds/dvds but for some reason in fedora it doesn't work..
this is what i get: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/miguel/Desktop/compilation.iso dd: opening `/home/miguel/Desktop/compilation.iso': No such file or directory i don't really know why i get this error, I've always used the same syntax. what could be the problem? it has always worked for me in other distros. |
Try touching compilation.iso before running your command. I've never run dd like that as I usually copy an image to a block device, which already exists.
There is no mention in man dd of dd creating any files, only truncating one by default if it exists. |

touch creates an empty file.
Code:
touch compilation.iso |
