ISO Ripping

[Kenneth E. Lussier]

*I* can use dd. Or mkisofs, or any other command line. However, this is
for people that are Windows users. A lot of my users rip IOS images off
of CD's and put them out on an FTP site. I'm trying to make it easier
for them by setting up a system where thay can put in a CD, rip the ISO,
and copy it to an NFS mounted directory. Being a big fan of the command
line myself, I just don't know what GUI's are good and which one's are
bad.

TIA,
Kenny
