CD ROM/ISO 9660 Images

UNIX and UNIX-like OS

To create an image file make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities
and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).

To create a CDROM image file copy the contents of the CDROM to a file. You can use
the following command:

dd

[

if=/dev/cdrom

] [

of=/tmp/cdrom.image

]

dd reads the entire disc from the device

/dev/cdrom

and saves the output in the spec-

ified output file

/tmp/cdrom.image

. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs

(input device etc.).
