A CD is a real CD which you can hold in your hand. If you have the same data on a hard disk, you have a (CD) image. It doesn't matter whether you copied a CD with dd, downloaded the image from the net, or created it with mkisofs . These are often called ISO images and named any_name.iso because the filesystem is ISO 9660. You can burn an image on a CD-R with cdrecord but what you make is of course a real CD. -- Joachim Fahnenmüller # Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
