Re: mkisofs and copying a cd to disk

Sorry to reply to my own message, but another reason
to use isosize is that some (most?) CD-ROMs are padded
with a few sectors of zeros at the end.  You want
the copied image to be the same size as the original
ISO9660 filesystem (so that md5sum will turn out
right, for example).   A plain dd would preserve this
unwanted padding.
