cdrom image to cdr
What is the easiest way to copy a complete cdrom with freebsd-4.11? Normally I use burncd to burn an iso file to a new cdr, but I never copied a complete cdrom to cdr under freebsd. My windows machines are down and I need the copy soon. So please forgive me if I'm ignorant. Hope the answer is easy ;-) -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope the answer is easy ;-) This is covered in the handbook, but the basic idea is that you mount the CD, use mkisofs to create an iso of it and then burn the iso with burncd. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This usually works. Doesn't work for multisession discs. I've found some drives report EOM while reading the last block while others wait until an attempt to read past the last block. Result is that dd may read some one block short. May be good enough for everything but verify after write. /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrdao/ can handle arbitrary disc duplication, altho I haven't tried it in quite a while. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
