Creating a backup of installation CDs
I'm one of those that like to keep backups of installation media, just
in case something happens (worse that ever happened was house fire and
lost over $1000 in cds that I did not have backups for). In any event,
how can I create a backup copy of the SuSE Pro Installation CDs? TIA!

If you've got a CDR and I'm assuming you do then just use K3B and make disc to disc copies of them. Pretty simple. :) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----------------------------------------------------------- The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the opposite direction.
Hi, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=path-to-iso This will create exact copies of the CDs in ISO format (you can burn them later using cdrecord). Regards, Alin. Jose J. Cintron wrote:

Would this also work for the DVD's?
I am told that we can install using the ISO files directly. The
convience of this is the ability to caddy a drive into another system
load the software onto it. Then in the targeted system start as linux
run level 3 and run sax for the mouse, monitor, graphics, sound and other
daughter cards. This way I can avoid buying a DVD drive and save money
for more memory. Then I can start doing loads for friends.
Ill buy 8.2 this weekend.
Do you have a script to automate this type of install drive to drive?
