--tEFtbjk+mNEviIIX Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have been trying to make an iso of some dvds, an cdroms by just copying the file /dev/acd0c, but most of the time it seems to fail with an i/o error. I underestimated the size of a 6G dvd and ran out of disk space before it was through, though it got to nearly 4G. After freeing enough diskspace an trying again I couldn't copy more than several hundre megs before it got an i/o error. Removing and reinserting the dvd doesn't seem to help. I can successfully copy the dvd by mounting it and copying all the files, but I'd prefer a straight copy of the iso image. I've had various problems doing so with different cd/dvds, and I also had a similar problem on linux. Since some cd/dvds work fine, and I can always successfully read it when it's mounted, why don't all cd/dvds allow a straight copy of the iso image? --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
