How do I locate the ISO file on a DVD from the terminal?

136

When the .iso file was burnt to the DVD, it was unpacked, so it's not a .iso file any more but probably a Joliet file system by now.

What your question probably means is

How do I make an .iso file from a DVD?

and then the answer is:

sudo cat /dev/sr0 > /path/to/dvd.iso

    I want to remove index.php from my url in zend framework.

    This is my URL :-

    http://localhost/demo/html/index.php/cp
    

    But I want like this http://localhost/demo/html/cp

    This is code below I am using in my .htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [NC,L]
    

    Please provide me a solution for this

      It seems there is some confusion about the DVD vs. the ISO file that was used to construct it. There isn't really a ISO file within the DVD. The contents of the ISO file have been written to the DVD. Or the contents of the DVD have been written to a single ISO file. But they're very different things.

    I typed man dd and it was just a bunch of itemized descriptions of arguments like if and of, so I read the if and of comments and scanned the rest. Should I be concerned about the contents of the dvd, /dev/sr0 being deleted or modified? I need to keep the dvd for use in other installation tasks. Also, shouldn't I put of=/path/to/dvd.iso?

    Yes, you did seem to get it when no one else did. +1. I added an EDIT to my OP showing the problems I encountered trying dd, are you willing to be more explicit? I am also doing wget for a fresh download of the iso, but that would take 90 minutes. I am hoping dd could do it in a few minutes if you were willing to explain.

    I believe it is not possible to be more explicit that pointing you to the fact that you omitted a needed slash.

    @CodeMed: a little click on the sad little grey under the small number next to this answer would turn it into beautiful green! ;-)
