Package: genisoimage Version: 9:1.1.10-1 Severity: normal I tried to create an ISO image this way:
$ genisoimage -b ../floppy.img -o dos_wdidle3_1.03.iso wdidle/ genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image '../floppy.img' ! According to the manpage, the argument for the -b option has to be relative to the source path, so ../floppy.img was correct. What the manpage does not mention is that the image must be _inside_ the source path. So there are 2 issues: 1. the manpage uses "relative to" instead "inside" 2. the error message is pointless and misleading, because it suggests that the image can not be found because the file does not exist -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc7-00057-g88c291c (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages genisoimage depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.10.2-8 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmagic1 5.04-2 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime genisoimage recommends no packages.
