[TriLUG] making cd images with OS X/Darwin

[Reginald Reed]

mkisofs is for creating ISO images of directory trees as far as I know.

I've used dd to make copies of data CDs, works great for most CDs.

I think the main thing going on here is finding a way to burn the CD on
OS X.  This is why I love fink.  Just grab cdrecord with fink for OS X
and burn it.  Check this page out:
