Re: [SLUG] Mking copy of the borg's stuff

[jasonb@nospam.ce.com.au]

The easiest way (I use this and it works) is to:

1. Put the CD to be duped into the drive.

2. Make an image:

	dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/opt/cd.img bs=8092

This will spit a couple of errors at the end of the CD - but it doesn't
matter.  From here you can write the image to another CD using CDRecord or
similar, or mount it via the loopback interface:


	losetup /dev/loop0 /opt/cd.img
	mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /mnt/cdrom

Note - remember to remove the loopback interface when it is not required:

	umount /mnt/cdrom
	losetup -d /dev/loop0

Cheers
Jason.
