I put these two lines in /etc/bashrc and just use the command line to go from CD to iso and iso to CD. alias cd2iso='dd if=/dev/scd0' alias iso2cd='cdrecord -v -eject -data speed=24 dev=0,0,0' Some people have suggested that you need to specify the block size on the cd2iso line, but I've never had any problem. Of course, you'll have to adjust the details to match your drive info. if you feel the need to specify block size, the parameter is bs=. Usage: cd2iso of=isoname.iso iso2cd isoname.iso If you are cutting multiple cd's from a single iso, it's the only way to go. -- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
