The description on that page...
----------
The following script (mkdvdiso.sh) has been tested for CentOS 4 and 5 i386
to create DVD ISO images from CD images, or from an installation tree. If
the installation tree does not contain a .discinfo file, one must be
obtained from the top level of a CD.
----------
seems to be describing creating a DVD image from a CD image or a source
directory, not how to create a image from a CD or DVD.
I'm just talking about the
dd if=/dev/cd of=/usr/share/cd.iso
command. Useful for creating boot images for virtual machines and cd images
for cd/dvd servers.
with maybe a suggestion of where to put the image, like /var/lib/xen/images
for xen or maybe /usr/share for other uses.
