Here is what output is given with catalyst:
$ catalyst -f /home/ftp/catalyst/livecd-stage2.spec [...] Resume point detected, skipping target_setup operation... --- Running action sequence: setup_overlay --- Running action sequence: create_iso Creating ISO using ISOLINUX bootloader mkisofs -J -R -l -V "catalyst 2008.0" -o /home/ftp/catalyst/iso/install-amd64.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /home/ftp/catalyst/builds/default/livecd-stage2-amd64-2008.0/ Unknown charset Known charsets are: iso8859-2 iso8859-13 iso8859-16 [...] iso8859-14 cp852 cp10081 mkisofs: 'iconv -l' lists more available names. Cannot make ISO image and if I type manually the same commandline used for mkisofs, it work: $ mkisofs -J -R -l -V "catalyst 2008.0" -o /home/ftp/catalyst/iso/install-amd64.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ /home/ftp/catalyst/builds/default/livecd-stage2-amd64-2008.0/ Setting input-charset to 'ISO-8859-1' from locale.

I hope that I am not too confused in my understanding of this problem. > -- > Andrew Gaffney > http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ > Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Genkernel + Release Engineering > Lead > > http://www.drakonix.fr
