You can use both. I normally create ISOs like this: # mkisofs -R -l -J filename.iso directory Actually, because I usually want the CD created with the files in a subdirectory on the CD, I usually use something like # mkisofs -R -l -J -graft-points filename.iso /dirname/=/directory/ You only need -J if at some point you might try to mount the CD under Windoze. If you are making backups, you are probably better off using -R instead of -r, so that file ownership and permissions are preserved. If handing the CD out to other people, then the -r is better.
