making ISOs on Panther
what is an ISO? well, if you have a CD and you think you might want to make a copy of it someday (and you have tons of hard disk space), you can copy that CD to disk for future burns. you can also copy this ISO to a PC and burn it on your windows/linux/bsd machine :)
using the ISO format retains things like mac/pc interoperability, bootable CDs, etc.
well, i wasn't sure how to do this on Panther. I used Carbon Copy Cleaner before, but i thought there should be a way built-in. and there is.
this article shows how. here it is:
hdiutil makehybrid -o ISONAME /Volumes/CDNAME
ISONAME is the name of the resulting ".iso" file (the .iso extension will be added by the program)
CDNAME is the name of the mounted CD.
