Why? I don't see any reason for that.
Unless he didn't write them from the downloaded images in the first
place, of course.

Basically, you have to make sure that you read the CD in 2k blocks,

faster, but the last block may not be completely readable, which makes
dd fail.

A bit of irony for you: Bill Gates claims to be trying to make a stable
operating system, while Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over
the world.
