Not quite sure what you're sayin, but this always works for me
'mkisofs -r -o cd_image <directory>'
Actually I use an /etc/bashrc alias
alias mkcdimg='mkisofs -r -o cd_image'
So just typing 'mkcdimg <directory>' makes a file 'cd_image' with
all the contents of <directory> in it. Then 'bdcd cd_image' burns it
to a CDr.
alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -data'
The only check I bother with is 'du -ch cd_image' to make sure the
image file is the same size (in MB's) as the <directory> contents
before I burn it.
I use this mostly for making CDr's of movies or pictures, tho it
works just as well for mp3's, or any other files. IIRC, I got a lot
of help from the CD-writing howto, besides 'man mkisofs'. Both have
lot'sa examples. All the dozens of CDr's I've made this way contain
only the files that were in <directory>, no "record of the files"?.
I have no idea what "globing" is.
