Hello out there. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a need to create a CD that I can use the UNIX utility 'dd' to
copy 'verbatim' from the CD to a new hard disk...

The exact method of getting the contents to the new hard disk is not as
important as having more than one partition on the CD... I haver ead something
about having a MultiVolume MultiSession CD.. I can create this, but, is it
supported by the UNIX systems AND can I slice it up as outlined below ??

I also need to be able to mount/umount each filesystem on demand.

I am able to create the required layout on a UNIX system(on another disk),
but, can I copy it to the CD somehow ?? This would make the layout definition
much more maintainable and support quicker testing..

I have the YAHAMA CD-EXPERT CDE100 Compact Disc Recorder...

The OS of choice for the creation is:

	MS-Windows with Corel CD CREATER, BSDI 1.X, NetBSD 1.1, FreeBSD 2.1+
		and LAST but not least Linux.

What software is needed if the OS is NOT MS-Windows...


This will include things like the typical 4 partitions that PC systems
support as weel as any disklabels that may be on a UNIX partition..

For example:
	
	partition 0:	UNIX(ISO9660)
			sliced up into a single FS
				a: / 

	partition 1:	UNIX(NOT ISO9660)
			sliced up as:
				a: /

	partition 2:	UNIX, another different UNIX(MAYBE ISO9660)
			sliced up as:
				a: /

	partition 3:	UNIX again, additional space(ISO9660)
			sliced up as:
				a: /
