When creating iso images with mkisofs, you should use the flags "-J -r". The
little 'r' is important, it sets sane file permissions (owned by root,
r--r--r-- mode [except for files with execute bits set]). The "-J" makes is
sane for windows. See the man page ("man mkisofs") for more.
There will be some method in xcdroast to do something similar.
