Or dd.

What are you trying to make ISO images from? If it's from files on your harddrive that you want to burn to a disc, then use mkisofs. If you have a CD in the drive that you want to take an image of, then use dd.

heres a little script, save it as makeiso, and put it in /usr/bin
---------------------
# build an ISO from a directory

if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
echo "usage: $0 rootdir"
exit 1
fi

if [ ${UID} -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "Dude! You're just not cool enough!"
exit 10
fi

ROOTDIR=$1
TITLE=${ROOTDIR}
OUTFILE=${ROOTDIR}.iso

mkisofs \
-rational-rock \
-joliet \
-full-iso9660-filenames \
-allow-leading-dots \
-disable-deep-relocation \
-volid ${TITLE} \
-output ${OUTFILE} \
${ROOTDIR}

#EOF
---------------------------

u could use a program called kiso
"KIso is a GUI for KDE 3 which has the purpose to make creating, extracting and editing of ISO-Images as easy as possible. "

if your CD-ROM dervie is /dev/hdd ,you could input dd if=/dev/hdd of=mycd.iso
