dd

Ready for my next adventure? I am! It is exciting. I am going to recompile
debian 3.0r1 to use ext3 by default.

step 1- copy files from cdrom to hard drive
step 2- figure out where the kernel is kept in the cdrom
step 3- recompile kernel
step 4- burn new kernel to cd

you knowstep 2 should be first; this way I won't have to copy all of the cds.
Most likely it is kept on the first cdrom.

So here is what I did:

bmike1@1[bmike1]$ man dd
Reformatting dd(1), please wait...
bmike1@1[bmike1]$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
bmike1@1[bmike1]$ dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/mnt/hda4/bmike1/Documents/Debian3.0r1/1
conv=notrunc,noerror
dd: opening `/mnt/hda4/bmike1/Documents/Debian3.0r1/1': Is a directory
bmike1@1[bmike1]$

So, after reviewing 'man dd' again I am beginning to think that dd is not
supposed to be used to copy multiple files. If that is so please tell me what
I am suposed to use.......
