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'. If no solution I will burn a CD to test Lot of thanks for your HINT B.R. Stephen ___ Do You Yahoo!?
