    Whats the best ISO creator?

    I'm interested in creating an ISO, but am not sure how to go about it. Is there a favorite utility to use?

    If you mean how to burn an iso, use k3b

    If you want to create an iso file - man mkisofs
    If you want to make a bootable iso in specific - there are many how-to's on that, have a search.

    I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

    Uranus gave the answer to you.

    the tool is mkisofs

    the man page explains how to use it... they have usage examples in the man page as well.

    also, there are quite a few threads on here about how to make an iso, if you use the search.

    That's what I use...

    mkisofs myimage.iso /directory/to/be/imaged

    And if you have an existing cd/dvd that you want to make an iso of, use dd

    dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myiso.iso
