Creating an ISO with K3B

Ok, this is a pretty basic question and I feel kinda dumb asking it, but how on earth do you create an ISO with K3B. I know how to write an ISO, but I dont, for the life of me, see an option to read the CD/DVD to create an ISO image...

Thanks!!!!

Re: Creating an ISO with K3B

You want to create an ISO file from a CD? Don't bother with K3B, run this from a terminal (you might need to be root, not sure):

cat /dev/cdrom > ~/mycd.iso

---

DON'T CLICK THIS

Re: Creating an ISO with K3B

Thats all I have to do?

Wow, that is allot simpler than loading K3B... However, I would think something that simple would be implemented...

Thanks for the info... I find it simpler to load an ISO directly into VMWare than mounting a CD for that...

Thanks again!!!

I usually use dd

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=mycd.iso
