Re: mkisofs and copying a cd to disk

Here's what I use.  The isosize tool is part of the old cdwrite
distribution, I think---it just prints the size of the ISO9660
filesystem in bytes by looking in the superblock.

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=whatever.iso bs=2048 count=`expr \`isosize
/dev/cdrom\` / 2048`
