How do you make an ISO?


I have 3 cd's...and I want to make each cd into an iso on my harddrive. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

You just have to dump the data:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=filename.iso

Note that you have to use the device (/dev) and not the mount point (/mnt/cdrom)

The dd method works if you have a CD you want to dump to an ISO. If you just want to make an ISO out of some files on your hard drive (to be burtned onto CD) you would use the mkisofs command.
