ISOs in Ubuntu

description
Manage your CDs/DVDs and drives by turning them into a single .iso file.

location
computers/linux

* Insert Disk (use Sytem-Administration->Disk Utility to figure drive name)

* Copy to file -- dd if=/dev/sr0 of=filename.iso bs=1024

* Now you've got your ISO :)

WARNING: be VERY sure of your dd parameters... dd is a very powerful tool... be sure not to delete your hard drive or other data!

* Next you might want to use Unetbootin to copy the ISO to a thumb drive.

* You may also want to mount the iso using Gmount-iso. (apt-get)
