1. First, ensure that you know that your CD or DVD device actually works and that you know the device location.. |
|||
2. Fire up your prefered terminal emulator (Konsole, xterm, gnome-terminal...), insert the disk into the drive you want to use, and issue the following command: |
|||
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/dave/MyCD.iso |
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/dave/MyCD.iso |
||
/dev/cdrom is the device location of your drive (/dev/cdrom is usually ok), and where /home/dave/MyCD.iso is the path where you want the ISO image to be created. |

1. This is getting boring, open up your prefered terminal emulator... |
|||
2. Issue the following command: |
|||
mount -o loop /home/dave/MyCD.iso /mnt/iso |
mount -o loop /home/dave/MyCD.iso /mnt/iso |
||
/home/dave/MyCD.iso is the path to the ISO you want to mount, and /mnt/iso is the mountpoint, and to unmount, simply issue the following: |
|||
umount /mnt/iso |
