Author: This could be very useful for VirtualMachine (on which you can mount an ISO in the virtual CD-Rom Drive) or for not have to carry all your phisical CD/DVD.
Use the following command to create ISO image of CD or DVD
Note: /dev/hdc is my cdrom device
dd if=/dev/hdc of=/tmp/example.iso bs=32
Hope this help

This could be very useful if you have your data on a DVD and you don’t have a DVD Player on your machine or you are using a remote connection or even if you don’t have phisical access to the machine.
The following show an example of mounting a DVD as a file.
# mkdir /iso
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /YourApp-DVD.iso /iso
Or to mount automatically at boot, add the following to “/etc/fstab”
/YourApp-DVD.iso /iso iso9660 ro,loop 0 0
Hope this help
