mkisofs is what you would use if the data was not already stored in iso format. If you wanted to create an exact duplicate of the original CD-RW, all you need is dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso Then use cdrecord to put it back later. (replace /dev/cdrom with whatever device name you have for /cdrom in /etc/fstab). Look at all the options to mkisofs and that will give you an idea of all the things that could be different between the original and your copy. Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
