Sorry for the late followup. Alternatively, just read the file into
and out of gedit on your linux box. It understands both CR/LF and LF
endings as input, and has an option to save in either format.

So is there not a device like ISO that I can copy TOO? I wouldn't think because cdrom is RO after all. and 'set rq writeenable' isn't working nor is anything to do with cdrom working.
