Re: cd -> iso

well then you must figure out on which /dev/ special file corresponds to your cd-rom.
if you have IDE cdrom then its /dev/hd[a-z] something..

command : dmesg | grep hd

should give sufficient output to figure it out..

Everything is a file:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/my-cdimage.iso

See manpage of dd for more options. When using dd, always be sure you
don't confuse if= (input file) and of= (output file). Typos can have
devastating effects, especially when you run this as root.
