Great stuff. Thanks. OK, using your command but changing it to the drive itself I got this: ~ # isoinfo -d dev=/dev/hdb CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format System id: LINUX Volume id: FreeDOS 1.0 Volume set id: Publisher id: Data preparer id: Application id: MKISOFS ISO 9660/HFS FILESYSTEM BUILDER & CDRECORD CD-R/DVD CREATOR (C) 1993 E.YOUNGDALE (C) 1997 J.PEARSON/J.SCHILLING Copyright File id: Abstract File id: Bibliographic File id: Volume set size is: 1 Volume set sequence number is: 1 Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 78305 El Torito VD version 1 found, boot catalog is in sector 364 NO Joliet present Rock Ridge signatures version 1 found Eltorito validation header: Hid 1 Arch 0 (x86) ID '' Key 55 AA Eltorito defaultboot header: Bootid 88 (bootable) Boot media 0 (No Emulation Boot) Load segment 0 Sys type 0 Nsect 4 Bootoff 16D 365 I then used dd to make a file: ~ # dd if=/dev/hdb of=FreeDOS.iso dd: reading `/dev/hdb': Input/output error 313568+0 records in 313568+0 records out 160546816 bytes (161 MB) copied, 55.8198 s, 2.9 MB/s I don't like the Input/Output error message but it did create a file which gives the same info using isoinfo: ~ # isoinfo -d -i FreeDOS.iso CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format System id: LINUX Volume id: FreeDOS 1.0 Volume set id: Publisher id: Data preparer id: Application id: MKISOFS ISO 9660/HFS FILESYSTEM BUILDER & CDRECORD CD-R/DVD CREA TOR (C) 1993 E.YOUNGDALE (C) 1997 J.PEARSON/J.SCHILLING Copyright File id: Abstract File id: Bibliographic File id: Volume set size is: 1 Volume set sequence number is: 1 Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 78305 El Torito VD version 1 found, boot catalog is in sector 364 NO Joliet present Rock Ridge signatures version 1 found Eltorito validation header: Hid 1 Arch 0 (x86) ID '' Key 55 AA Eltorito defaultboot header: Bootid 88 (bootable) Boot media 0 (No Emulation Boot) Load segment 0 Sys type 0 Nsect 4 Bootoff 16D 365 Now, how does one turn this ISO image back into a set of files and folders to be changed and later turned back into an ISO image? I see Joerg Schilling has responded. That's a famous name in this area. Off to read his pages! - Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
