This technique I know for vcds and svcds, but, for what else?, for what kind of other CDs does it apply? In other words, it seems that some times dd works, some times it doesn't. Bob Parker in another message in this thread mentioned that you need to know the number of sectors. However, some times (for example, in the case of a vcd) mounting + df will not report the real size. It may happen that some other format will generat the same kind of mistake. A few years ago when I started using debian (slink) dd was said to be the tool for that, But now it seems that there is no universal tool that will acomplish the job. If you know the type of Cd that you have, you may know then the command that you need, but if the CD itself is unknown, the you are more less lost. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
