[ale] ISO image from a mounted CDROM

[james at sumners.ath.cx]

I am not sure that is possible. An ISO format copy is a bit for bit
copy of the CD. You could build your own .iso with mkisofs if you are
unable to unmount the CD. The easiest way to create the .iso, however,
is to unmount the CD and `dd if=/dev/<cd_device> of=cdcopy.iso`.
