There is a program called readiso that will copy a cd into a .iso file,
which might work better than mkisofs for copying a cd. Feed the .iso to
cdrecord and it should work.
Question:
I have had problems copying Mandrake 5.3 with dd (to a .iso file). It
seems to get to the end and then get data errors. Is there something at
the end of the CD that prevents this sort of copying?
