Hi Paul,

I'm trying to avoid the actual task of loading the CD, waiting for
the computer to read all the bits, eject the CD, rename the file,
load the next CD, etc.
I want to send a stack of disks someplace, have somebody else do that
3-4 dozen times, and send the disks backs with a thumb drive
containing all the ISO files.
Thanks,
jp

them downloadable or put them on a thumb drive.

I thought a CD-ROM (data CD) *is* an ISO image. So I would expect
all you need to do is make an image copy of the disk. On Unix
systems that's trivial, just use the "dd" command to copy
/dev/whatever to myfile.iso.
