Problem Description

Is it possible to create CDROM images on a server with no cd recorder so that they may be moved to a machine with a CDROM burner?

Cause

My server has a cd rom and can boot to it, but it isn't a recorder.

Solution

For Linux, define the cd rom in the resource manager. However, being that this drive is not recordable, define it as such. In the record command type: cat > /dev/null. Set the record buffer to 1000. Then run RecoverEDGE, select Configure->Boot Media. Select the cdrom device and you will notice the device node gets filled in automatically. Back out, then select Make Disks. Your image will be found in /usr/lib/edge/recover2/cdrom.img.
