If I understand you correctly, you're wanting to copy a solaris
CD so that you have 2 copies. If this is the case, you do not
use mkisofs at all. mkisofs is used to _create_ an iso9660
filesystem from a directory or group of directories, etc.. You
want to duplicate an existing iso9660 filesystem from one CD to
another. Use readcd to make an iso disk image, and cdrecord to
burn it to CD. Using mkisofs will be remastering the disk,
perhaps in a way that is not compatible with what the OS expects,
and definitely wont be a 100% copy.

Signature poll: I'm planning on getting a 12 or 16 port autosensing
10/100 ethernet switch soon for home use, and am interested in hearing
others recommendations on what to buy. Cost isn't as important as is
functionality and quality. Any suggestions appreciated.
