Hi,

     Is it possible to rip a dvd from a frontend machine?

     When I try running mtd -n from a shell it gives the output listed 
below.   Is this a setup problem on my frontend or am I just trying to do 
something impossible.     There is no DVD reader in the backend and it is 
not readily accessible so not really an option to do from there.

thx,
Dave
