Aurggh!!
I omitted a "don't", exactly reversing the sense of one of my sentences.
Correction noted below.

| | Your nifty little suite should document:
| |
| | 1. You must run as (su) root, and that the testit ... invocation

| | ./testit ... from a terminal window.
| |
| | 2. A good mkisofs tgz is downloadable from author Schily's site:
| |
| | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/mkisofs/
| |
| | 3. Uninstall your mkisofs RPM,
| |
| | 4. Untar the tgz,
| |
| | 5. Open a terminal su root on the untar,
| |
| | 6. make,
| |
| | 7. make install,
| |
| | 8. As root manually copy mkisofs from /opt/schily/ to /usr/bin,
| |
| | 9. Rerun the test.
