(try finding a DVD copier for Linux) but requires you to restart the machine
Funny you should say that, the easiest bit of hardware I have got working recently was my DVD burner, i just removed the cd burner and put the dvd burner in its place and it just works.
What software was that? K3b refuses to copy a DVD data disc. I agree burning DVDs is easy, but I want a bootable one. I understand mkisofs has support, but needs the right files in the right places and I haven't got my head round all that yet. If you're ahead of me, do tell.
As Brett said all you should need to do is a
dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/dvd.iso
(where /dev/dvd is the device name of your dvd-burner or drive, and of is where you want to save the image) then burn dvd.iso as normal. I don't know if there is a GUI front end that does this kind of thing because I tend to spurn them :)
