I want to learn with Ubuntu/Debian how to make ISO from file so I can easily organize when copying my large collection of movies, music, apps and documents into my external hard disk drive or CDs.
How to make ISO from file with Ubuntu/Debian
An ISO file  can be used to send multiple files in a CD.
-
You can use the program: mkisofts that creates an ISO9660/JOLIET/HFS hybrid file system
-
The program's syntax is something like this:
-
Mkisofs-0Â [filename.iso]Â [path]
-
The "filename " is the name it will be created in
-
"Path" is the directory to be used in creating the ISO
-
For example:
-
Mkisofs-0Â [upload.iso]Â [applauds]
-
This creates an ISO file "upload" in the directory"uploads"
Second solution
Brasero is the default CD/DVD burning application in Ubuntu
How to create ISO images with Brasero?
-
Hit the Windows key and search for "brasero" then open it.
