Search (www.justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=) for "burn iso", you will find some suggestions/opinions on what software to use and how.

alot of people hate answering the same question over and over again, just search

Why waste our time and yours? You could have an answer right when you wanted it to, instead of making us reply to it. You'll find your answer in a search, because i found the answer to that same question when i wanted to know.

i used mkisofs -R /mnt/cdrom > filename.iso
to rip the playstation game as phlipant posted.
but i get input/output error message in the middle of the proces...
does anyone know why?

This does not work with Playstation-Cd's because the data track is written in mode 2 which dd can't read, and because the Cd's are multitrack (one datatrack and several audiotracks). <--- how do i rip cd that has multitracks?

for multitrack cds, you need to use cdrecord.
i like xcdroast as a cdrecord front end, as cdrecord is fairly complicated to use.

would
cp /dev/cdrom ~/my.iso


work? (assuming of couse that /dev/cdrom is a symlink to hdc or whatever is the real location of your cdrom)

yes, it's really helpful and you will see. If it dosn't, then ask. At least you will know that you made efforts to find the answer to your question.
