Wich Command do I use for ...


Posts: 3

Hi everyone,

I have a little question: What is the command for making a iso file (or image file) from a bootable cd?

for example:
I have a cd with a bootable linux mepis on it, now I want to make a iso file (or image file) of it. Now I know that there are some progz for that but I wanna do that in the shell.

Can someone help me with that?

Thanx in advance
