Creating ISO images on Ubuntu

I couldn't hold myself... it is just THAT easy!

$> cat /dev/cdrom > ~/cd.iso

This will create an ISO image file for all contents on your CD device.

Now, if you want to create ISO with files/directories from your local conputer:

$> mkisofs -r -o file.iso /path/to/directory

Note: This is installed in Ubuntu by default.

Stupidly easy!
