Linux - Debian - HOWTO: ISO creation from terminal

Hi,
I was looking for this (for a BASH script I wanted to write), and I found out how to do it. Now I want to share it

1. Create ISO-file from folder

Code:

mkisofs -r -o /isofile.iso /folder

where /isofile.iso is the relative or absolute path to the iso-file you want to create and /folder the absolute or relative path to the folder you want to backup.

2. Create ISO-file from file(s)

Code:

mkisofs -r -o /isofile.iso /mybigfile

or if you want to backup multipi files (like you .mp3 collection):

Code:

mkisofs -r -o /isofile.iso *.mp3

3. Create ISO-file from a cd/dvd-drive

Code:

dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=isofile.iso
