And it seems using dd would be a real "image" according to this: ( from: http://www.sonoracomm.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=92&Itemid=32 ) DVD (ISO) Images You can back up a DVD (even a movie) to your hard drive and restore it easily from the Linux command line. Assuming your DVD drive is /dev/hdc, execute the following from the command line: dd if=/dev/hdc of=dvd.iso Verify that the DVD and the ISO file are exactly the same: diff /dev/hdc dvd.iso -r Insert a blank DVD of the same type as the original (-R, +R, DVD5, DVD9). Burn the new DVD from the ISO: /usr/bin/growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=dvd.iso Doug -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
