There are times when physical access to a Linux box is not
possible. Still, you may find a need to use a CD for installing or
upgrading software. This brief article demonstrates how make image
files from a CD and move those files to a remote server. There, the
files can be mounted so that their file systems can be accessed just
as if the CD were inserted into the CDROM of the remote server.
The above image demonstrates using the dd command to copy the bytes
from a CD to a file. This was done on a local virtual machine -
Fedora Core 1. Notice that the CD had to be un-mounted after each CD
was inserted. That is because Fedora automatically mounts a CD when
it is inserted.
Next, the scp command is used to copy the iso files to the remote
server.
Finally, the iso images are mounted. Now each file system can be
accessed just as if a CD were inserted and mounted.
