Mine said media:/hda (because my hard drive is SATA the CD gets hda) 4) Close the window and right-click Unmount on the icon 5) dd if=/dev/hda of=/path/to/my/file.iso replacing hda with whatever yours mounted as. 6) I've got a 627MB file on my hard drive. 7) Hope that helps. 8) Time for bed!
Thanks again, Dave. Your method does not work here (FC5 and KDE too). In truth, audio CDs do not correspond to a filesystem. Meanwhile, I found the following solution: cdrdao copy --device /dev/dvd which works fine with audio or data CDs. Paul
