You can use dvddao (HOBBES) for this job.
Example:
  dvddao -d f:- 2>image.iso s:0,1,0

You have to adjust the parameter after s: to match your
configuration.

Hi,

Thanks to Paul Smedley we now have VirtualBox.
Configuring, especially QT version, is quite easy.

First I tried to install eCS 2.0 RC4 and eCS 1.2 GA as guest
from bootable iso-images. Installation traps right after
choosing own values. Depending on configuration it tells
that system is just stopped (ACPI support enabled) or traps
pointing to module RESOURCE. Same thing with default values.
Haa anyone else sen this?

I would like to try Win 2000 and XP, but unfortunately only
have them on bootable CDs. Is there a method to convert
bootable CD to bootable iso-image, perhaps using mkisofs.exe?
Could it be possible to find these iso-images from some web
location?

If you read the readme, you will notice that it has been tested
and fails.

Actually - as much as I'd like to take the credit - most of the work 
has been done by Knut (libc author) and Dmitry (qt3 port) - I just 
built it and uploaded it :)

Thank you Franz for your advice. Dvddao really did the job. I used
CDRom's drive letter for s-parameter, because SCSI did not apply to
my system. dvddao gave about 30 error messages, but the results worked.
Now I have W2k and XP installed, without networking first.
