Re: Extracting directories from an ISO image, command line tool?

Hi,

(Note to myself: This is the extract thread, not the
 thread about getting .iso files from /dev/sr0.)

I wonder why rsync and not "cp -a", and why not only
/mnt/cdrom/pool gets copied.
Maybe one should only do mount and umount as superuser
(via sudo) and leave the loop under control of the normal
user.

  while true
  do
    echo "Insert medium, wait until blinking ends, press Enter key (or Ctrl+C to end)"
    read dummy

    ... mount /dev/sr0, rsync or cp, umount /dev/sr0
        or xorriso ... -indev /dev/sr0 ...

  done


Have a nice day :)
