samples

  1. tarball the directory then send the tarball onto the cdrom
  2. mkisofs -l -r -V "sirfsup jan 04" /var/sirfsup > filename.iso
    looking for long filenames here!! DOES NOT MOUNT DRIVE. must need strange mount option,it's not iso9660
  3. mkisofs -r -o cdimage.raw /dir_to_be_burned
  4. copy all files into the same directory first; else, they will all be smushed together. Like, mkisofs -r -o cdimage.raw /usr/local /home/joe will put all subdirectories on one level.
  5. mkisofs -r -o cdimage.raw /dir_to_be_burned
  6. mkisofs -L -l -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -N -v -d -o ck.iso ToCd

  7. DONT DO THIS IT PUTS ALL FILES IN / AND LOSES THEIR PLACE
    csh> mkisofs -o /image/burn-image/.iso -l -R -L -V "" -P "" -p "" -A "" .

    options

        -o:  the name of the file that will contain the image
        -l:  use long file names
        -R:  use Rock Ridge extensions.  This means that long file names
     will be used, file uid/gids and permissions will be preserved,
     symbolic links will be included, etc.  In other words, the
     CD will try hard to emulate a Unix file system.
       [-r:  This is like the -R option, but file uid/gid are set to 0,
     files will be readable by anyone and all write permissions will
     be removed.  Use this switch if you anticipate needing to read
             the CD in an environment where your uid/gid do not exist.  E.g.,
     if you are sending to CD to another institution.]
    
        -L:  Allow file names beginning with '.'.
