| You can use both. I normally create ISOs like this:
| # mkisofs -R -l -J filename.iso directory

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:

Hack to suit.
