It does not work if I simply use the file as the argument to -path-list. THat is the first thing I tried. I am formatting my files for the graft-points option and will take a little bit. I will let you know how that works. Here will be my command: cat $Foo | mkisofs -r -V $VOLID -graft-points -path-list - -o $BACKUPHOME/iso_images/archiveHTML-$DATE-$VOLID.iso $BACKUPHOME/count_files/$Foo And my files will look like: /data1/archiveHTML/0046/312/0046312254.gz=/data1/archiveHTML/0046/312/0046312254.gz /data1/archiveHTML/0046/312/0046312255.gz=/data1/archiveHTML/0046/312/0046312255.gz Thank you!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
