OR
mogrify -format gif *.ico
rm -f *.ico

Batch resize files in the current directory and send them to a thumbnails directory (requires convert from Imagemagick)

find . -maxdepth 1 -name *.jpg -print -exec convert "{}" -resize 80x60 "thumbs/{}" \;

These commands can be used to create an image of a CD/DVD/HDD. You can also use some GUI tool like K3B to do this. Use one any of the three commands…

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image.iso
cat /dev/cdrom >image.iso
readcd dev=device f=image.raw

I once got a DAA file from a P2P network. Initally I was at a lose about how to extract the data. Finally I found a method that works. First get the ‘poweriso’ utilty for Linux. You can get it at the PowerISO website

Then convert the DAA file to a regular ISO file using this command…

poweriso convert daa_image.daa -o iso_image.iso -ot iso
