My standard incantation is: mkisofs -D -J -L -N -r -T -v -V "$label" -o "$out" "$dir" It's probably worth making a wrapper script. I have two: mkcd and mkiso, which save me remembering this trivia if I'm just making a plain data disc. For other purposes, of course, you reach forthe manual... You can get mkcd and mkiso here: http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/mkcd/index.html Hack to suit. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Dangerous stuff, science.
