Rip CDs and DVDs to the Harddrive with AcetoneISO2 [Linux]

You have the ability to rip a CD or DVD to an ISO, and then you can mount the ISO image directly in AcetoneISO2. It comes with the ability to rip a DVD to an AVI file.

In order to install AcetoneISO2, copy and paste the following command into a terminal:
