Copying CD's with one burner/cdrom
I would like to copy some linux cds for members of my lug but I only have one cdrom/burner so I think Ill have to copy them to my hard disk first then burn them from there. So how do I keep them true images or make them exactly the way the originals are so some one else can load them on theyre computer.

Actually Caeda its put in cd click on tools, click on CD, and click on Burn ISO image in K3B.
I got that my problem is that when I load the cd onto my hard drive to burn, it loads as different files ie an rpm file,a boot file,a suse info file, ect. the actual files on the cd not an ISO image which will not be a bootable cd. Is there a way to put it on my hard drive as an "ISO Image" or is there a way I can convert the files that it were loaded into the temp file on my hard drive an iso image or bootable cd.

As root (open x terminal and command su - and give root's password), mount the cd, cd to the directory you wish your iso file to be and command
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=<name-of-your>.iso For example: mkdir /suse cd /suse mount /mnt/cdrom dd if=/dev/cdrom of=susecd1.iso ; eject ls Were you successful? Do you see susecd1.iso there? Now, burn it cdrecord -v speed=<your burning speed> dev=0,0,0,0 susecd1.iso ; eject |
"mount /mnt/cdrom"
can't find /mnt/cdrom in /ect/fstab or /etc/mtab But the dd command worked beutifullythaks fancypiper |
Your distro must mount the cdrom somewher other than /mnt/cdrom. You can examine your /ect/fstab file to see where your distro mounts that device, or you can edit it to use whatever you want.

You didn't say what distro you are using, but as mentioned before, sounds like your distro doesn't mount the cdrom under /mount/cdrom.
Do a cd /;ls -l and see if there is something that looks like a place (besides the obvious /mnt) that they put the cdrom. I know Suse for some strange reason, puts it under /media, so you'd type mount /media/cdrom. |
Actually B McHack its put in cd. Run K3b, and click "COPY", since it now has this button on the latest version, Perhaps you should upgrade before commenting.
