[NTLUG:Discuss] CDROM images

[Val W. Harris]

Does anyone know what options to use for mkisofs to create an iso file
image of a bootable CD?

I have the CD mounted at /mnt/cdrom1.
I've tried both:
      mkisofs -o vwh.iso /mnt/cdrom1, and
      mkisofs -o vwh.iso -R /mnt/cdrom1
In each case my file (vwh.iso) was larger than the original iso image
that I burned the CD from.  (And I suspect that my file won't create a
bootable CD, but I didn't burn it to test that suspicion.)

This is mainly curiosity, (job hunting hasn't been entertaining enough
lately,) but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Val
