I have a cd that I would like to back up to a disc image on my hard
drive.

The mkisofs man page isn't helping me very much .. here's my last try.

> mkisofs -v foo.iso /mnt/cdrom/
> invalid node - foo.iso

Do I have the path and the filename backwards, or what?

So I checked. From http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/help/mkisofs/mkisofs.htm

> mkisofs [-a] [-b boot_image] [-c boot_catalog]
> [-A application_id] [-f] [-d] [-D] [-i include-list]
> [-l] [-L] [-p preparer] [-P publisher] [-r] [-R]
> [-T] [-v] [-V] [-V volid] [-x path] [-z] [-m glob]
> -o filename path

Even worse, if I just type

> mkisofs -v /mnt/cdrom1/

Bad, bad things happen. (Screen fills up with type.)

Okay sluggers, now what? I must be missing something.
