iso image question
I have a CD that was burned (but not labeled so well). Is is possible to tell if this is an i386 or amd64 image? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

In article alpine.bsf.2.00.1208261419520.56...@fledge.watson.org you write: I have a CD that was burned (but not labeled so well). Is is possible to tell if this is an i386 or amd64 image? Sure. Mount it, do a file on some of the programs in /bin and see whether they're i386 or x86-64 code.

Re: Creating ISO image question
Hi Eddysan, Tks for your advice. I already solve my problem with following command line; $ mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw -J -graft-points -hide-rr-moved /usr/home/user-A/Document-AAA/=/usr/home/user-A/Document-AAA/ But I like to learn an alternative. Try mkisofs -J -r -l -allow-lowercase -o outputfile.iso -V CD Lavel /dir $ mkisofs -J -r -l -allow-lowercase -o cdimage.iso -V CD Lavel /usr/home/user-A/Document-AAA/ . mkisofs: Joliet tree sort failed. cdimage could not be created. Previously it did happen occasionally on enabling -J flag. Another time it worked without problem with -J flag on. I still could not find out its cause. Removing -J flag then it worked $ mkisofs -r -l -allow-lowercase -o cdimage.iso -V CD Lavel /usr/home/user-A/Document-AAA/ creating a cdimage. However full path of directories still could not be created. B.R.

I believe that in case 1) you want to see the directory usr on the final CD containing subdirectory home etc. And in instance 2) you want to see the directory user-A on the final CD containing document-AAA etc. In the command mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso dir/ the directory 'dir' does not actually appear on the CD. At the top level the CD would contain the files and subdirectories appearing in 'dir/'. To get the full sequence 'user-A/document-AAA/subdirectories/..' to appear on the CD you would need mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /usr/home/ But unfortaunately this will include all under home; not just user-A/document-AAA. The simplest way to achieve what I believe you want in instance 2) is to create a temporary tree of what you want to see on the CD: mkdir tree mkdir tree/user-A cp -Rp /usr/home/user-A/document-AAA tree/user-A mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso tree (The mkisofs options are just an example -- probably not what you want) Now you can remove the temporary tree: rm -R tree You might be able to avoid this copying using the mkisofs option -graft-points ; but I have no experience with this.

Re: Creating ISO image question (PROBLEM SOLVED)
Hi Malcolm, Tks for your advice. You understand my need completely. Problem is now solved as stated at the bottom of this posting. I believe that in case 1) you want to see the directory usr on the final CD containing subdirectory home etc. And in instance 2) you want to see the directory user-A on the final CD containing document-AAA etc. In the command mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso dir/ the directory 'dir' does not actually appear on the CD. At the top level the CD would contain the files and subdirectories appearing in 'dir/'. To get the full sequence 'user-A/document-AAA/subdirectories/..' to appear on the CD you would need mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /usr/home/ But unfortaunately this will include all under home; not just user-A/document-AAA. The simplest way to achieve what I believe you want in instance 2) is to create a temporary tree of what you want to see on the CD: mkdir tree mkdir tree/user-A cp -Rp /usr/home/user-A/document-AAA tree/user-A mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso tree (The mkisofs options are just an example -- probably not what you want) Now you can remove the temporary tree: rm -R tree I don't expect it would be so complicate on FreeBSD. It is rather simple on Linux. You might be able to avoid this copying using the mkisofs option -graft-points ; but I have no experience with this. SOLUTION; $ mkisofs -U -R -o cdimage.raw -graft-points \ usr/home/user-A/document-AAA/=/usr/home/user-A/document-AAA 2 (two) folders then created; 1) user. Under this folder usr/home/user-A/document-AAA/subdirectories+files (full path) 2) rr_remove This is an empty folder I don't know how to get rid of the empty folder 'rr_remove'.
