    Hi all,

    At school we use this program for accounting. And you need the cd to start the program.

    Now my brother typed in something in the terminal wich created a iso from the cd rom. Whenever I need the cd-rom I just click the ISO and it gets 'mounted'.

    Why am I doing this?
    Well the cd drive on my powerbook uses alot of power. So I use the ISO. I do own my cd-rom.

    What is the command to create a iso from the cd-rom.

    The reason that I'm asking is that a friend of mine who is visiting right now has a similar cd-rom for school, but they only have 1-cd-rom and they have to pass it true the class each time they start the program. So this would make it easier for him.

    Thanks very much

    I use disk utility,

    menu, Images --> New --> Image from (Select Drive)

    It outputs a .dmg, most of the programs i've try'd that require the disk present to run have worked fine with the dmg mounted :)

    Hi thanks

    if you want to mount it like a real cd rom
    then you have to lock the iso and then mount it using toast

    :D
