MKISOFS(8) MKISOFS(8)
NAME
mkisofs - create an hybrid ISO9660/JOLIET/HFS filesystem
with optional Rock Ridge attributes.
the point is not to _create_ a isofs rather to copy a already existing
one, on the cd, to a filesystem file. so a raw datadump, dd, is
sufficient.
KISS - keep it small, keep it simple
bax
PS: i know this seems to be an philosophical question, but mind the gap:
use simple tools for simple tasks - you ain't gone need it.
