Please don't do this anyway. Copying the files onto a Windows file
systems loses the executable bits in the bin directories, making your
copy useless to Unix/Linux users.

The correct way to make a copy is to suck the file system image off
the CD as a file, and then throw it back bodily. EasyCD should have
a facility to do this.

The original CD image is prepared under Linux, of course.
