I don't under stand what this is saying, but in my experience, I have used
dd w/o no options to make a disk image of a cdrom, and it only made it the
size I needed. A 30M bootable cd wound up as 30M w/
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=mycd.iso
Sorry, if this insults anyone's intelligence or I'm not responding to what
I thought I read.
