Creating the medium image

Please follow these steps to create a medium image (see also the respective markings in the screen shot):

1. Select the drive (1) where the CD or DVD has been inserted.

The Linux version does currently only allow those drives to be selected which are contained under the /dev directory. A more flexible selection scheme will be introduced in the next program version.

2. Select a name for the image file.

Click on the symbol (2a) to bring up a dialog for selecting the image file name.
As a shortcut the file name can also be entered directly into the text field (2b).

Make sure to put the image file into a partition with enough free disk space. If your file system does not support files larger than 2GB, the split image option must be activated.

3. Read the medium image into the file.

Click on the "Read" button (3) to start the reading process.

Clicking on the symbol provides additional information about the reading results.
