To copy or rip an ISO image from a CD or a DVD, type the following command in xterm, mlterm or your favorite terminal:
readom dev=/dev/hdc f=mycopy.iso speed=2 retries=8 -noerror -nocorr
The readom command is contained in the wodim package which is commonly found in Debian Linux or Ubuntu systems. The example above rips a CD in the CD-ROM device /dev/hdc and save it as mycopy.iso. To find the device name of your CD-ROM or DVD drive, run wodim --devices.
The f= option specifies the filename to save the ISO image as. I chose the reading speed 2 because the ripping performs better at lower speeds. I also set the retry limit to 8 because the default retries of 128 is too time-consuming in case reading errors occur. For more information on the readom command, refer to the readom manual by running man readom
