Bootable ISO Image(CD/DVD) linux command

Put CD into CDROM

Do not mount CD.

If cd was mouted automatically unmout it with umount command:

# umount /dev/cdrom

Create CD-ROM ISO image with dd command:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg.iso

Where,

*(input file) if=/dev/cdrom: Read from /dev/cdrom (raw format)
*(output file) of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso: write to FILE cdimg1.iso i.e. create an ISO image

Now you can use cdimg.iso for hard disk installation or as a backup copy of cd.
