Now I can copy the file `myfile' onto CD with Mandrake 10.1 Community simply doing:
# mkisofs -r -o cd_image myfile # cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/hdd -data cd_image
. Now, if I try to copy onto CD a whole directory, only the content of the directory is copied and not the directory itself. For example, suppose I want to copy onto CD the directory `mydir' that contains the file `myfile'. If I do:
# mkisofs -r -o cd_image mydir # cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/hdd -data cd_image
, I will find only the `myfile' on the CD. Instead, I'd like to find on the CD the entire directory `mydir' with the `myfile' in it. Is it possible, and how?

Just a guess, but try mkisofs -r -o cd_image mydir/ with a slash at the end.
Thanks: I tried, but it didn't help. Rodolfo
When I want to make an image of a dir I type 'mkcdimg dir (an press <Tab>)' That auto completes to mkcdimg dir/
(alias mkcdimg='mkisofs -r -o cd_image')
This will make an image of the _contents_ of dir. If the dir is not a subdirectory of my working directory, the full path to the dir needs to be used. EG, mkcdimg /stor/dir/
After the cd_image is burned to a CDr, 'bdcd cd_image'
(alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -data')
.... the CD will have the contents of dir on it as data, but not under dir/. MOF, I've never wanted that result. Try making an image of a directory that contains only the dir/ you want as a subdir. Mount the image an look to see if that worked.
