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 currently only provides those drives for selection which are contained in the /dev directory. A more flexible selection scheme will be introduced in a later program version.

2. Select a name for the image file.

Click on the symbol (2a) to bring up a window 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 have enough free disk space for the image. Activate the split image option if your file system does not support files larger than 2GB.

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 on the reading process.
