RE: .raw extension is misleading
Hello,
This is a very common question that gets ask a lot. The nice people in
the debian doc project decided to create a FAQ on debian CD's.
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ there's a section entitled "How do I
record a CD-R under foo?" i.e. foo = platform
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-windows
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-mac
Hope this helps.
