Hello jhouse59.
Heres a quick and easy way to create an iso file from any cd/dvd under linux:
Step 1: sudo umount /dev/cdrom
Step 2: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=filename-goes-here.iso bs=1024
or
sudo umount /dev/cdrom dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=1024
You can also do the same with folders:
mkisofs -r -o file.iso /location_of_folder/
or
Easiest method
You can insert your CD/DVD an just right click the icon from the CD/DVD which is mounted on your desktop, and choose "Copy Disc". Then from the popup window choose properties, then change the "image type" to which ever format you want ISO, TOC, RAW, CUE ect. After doing that click apply, then you can go ahead and click copy. Njoy
Let me know the out come.
