// This relates to the Cygwin version of MKISOFS v1.15a12 included in cdrtools and running on Win9x & WinXP //
James Pearson, Bill Davidsen, et. al. regarding: "if it is possible to create an ISO9660 image with just the file names given on the command line and preserving their path." ( from 'mkisofs-1.14-files-4.patch.gz' located at ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs/testing/ ) MKISOFS in a Win32 environment using the '-graph-points' option with a '-path-list' file only includes the files and directories listed (it does not recurse the directories). Just to make this clear I include the following detailed example. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To create an ISO9660 image of the following files located on my hardrive's logical drive 'F': F:/Desktop.ini F:/AutoPlay.exe F:/program.exe F:/copyright.gif F:/readme.htm F:/DBs/Desktop.ini F:/DBs/DBO95.XLS F:/DBs/DBO97.XLS F:/Images/Desktop.ini F:/Images/DB.bmp F:/Images/button1.gif F:/Images/button2.gif F:/Menu/copyrt.htm F:/Menu/mainmenu.htm F:/Menu/Desktop.ini F:/Pages/000.htm F:/Pages/001.htm F:/Pages/011.htm F:/Pages/Desktop.ini F:/Pages/Docs/001.doc F:/Pages/Docs/002.doc F:/Pages/Docs/Desktop.ini F:/Pages/JPGs/000.jpg F:/Pages/JPGs/001.jpg F:/Pages/JPGs/Desktop.ini F:/PDFs/manual.pdf F:/PDFs/Desktop.ini my batch file (or command line) contains the following: mkisofs -r -J -o cd.iso -graft-points -path-list cdfiles // Notice no path designation at the end. Paths however can be given for 'cd.iso and 'cdfiles'. the '-path-list' file 'cdfiles' contain the following lines: /=F:/Desktop.ini /=F:/AutoPlay.exe /=F:/program.exe /=F:/copyright.gif /=F:/readme.htm /DBs/=F:/DBs/Desktop.ini /DBs/=F:/DBs/DBO95.XLS /DBs/=F:/DBs/DBO97.XLS /Images/=F:/Images/Desktop.ini /Images/=F:/Images/DB.bmp /Images/=F:/Images/button1.gif /Images/=F:/Images/button2.gif /Menu/=F:/Menu/copyrt.htm /Menu/=F:/Menu/mainmenu.htm /Menu/=F:/Menu/Desktop.ini /Pages/=F:/Pages/000.htm /Pages/=F:/Pages/001.htm /Pages/=F:/Pages/011.htm /Pages/=F:/Pages/Desktop.ini /Pages/Docs/=F:/Pages/Docs/001.doc /Pages/Docs/=F:/Pages/Docs/002.doc /Pages/Docs/=F:/Pages/Docs/Desktop.ini /Pages/JPGs/=F:/Pages/JPGs/000.jpg /Pages/JPGs/=F:/Pages/JPGs/001.jpg /Pages/JPGs/=F:/Pages/JPGs/Desktop.ini /PDFs/=F:/PDFs/manual.pdf /PDFs/=F:/PDFs/Desktop.ini and the result is an ISO9660 output image with the same structure as the hardrive's logical drive 'F' . (The directories are added, but not traversed). In this case the iso image file contains the following layout of directories and files: /Desktop.ini // root directory of the CD /AutoPlay.exe /program.exe /copyright.gif /readme.htm /DBs/Desktop.ini /DBs/DBO95.XLS /DBs/DBO97.XLS /Images/Desktop.ini /Images/DB.bmp /Images/button1.gif /Images/button2.gif /Menu/copyrt.htm /Menu/mainmenu.htm /Menu/Desktop.ini /Pages/000.htm /Pages/001.htm /Pages/011.htm /Pages/Desktop.ini /Pages/Docs/001.doc /Pages/Docs/002.doc /Pages/Docs/Desktop.ini /Pages/JPGs/000.jpg /Pages/JPGs/001.jpg /Pages/JPGs/Desktop.ini /PDFs/manual.pdf /PDFs/Desktop.ini Are you saying it doesn't work that way in Unix/Linux?
