I agree. So, I've fallen back to cdrecord. Since I'm mastering this disk on a non-SUSE machine, I don't have makeSUSEdvd and downloading it led to some dependancy issues.....

From the spec file for the RPM, the only dependency is the requirement that mkisofs be installed[0]. What dependency problems did you have?

When I run the script, I get: ================================== Starting makeSUSEdvd version 0.35 /tmp/CD_DIR already exists. Using /tmp/CD_DIR.12920 instead You seem to not have create_package_descr installed. You can install the current version with the command : rpm -Uvh autoyast2-utils-2.13.56-3.noarch.rpm after getting it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/makesusedvd. Would you like to install" automagically with RPM? [n/Y] : ================================== Not particularly interested in finding out what autoyast will do to my Gentoo workstation..... <grin> Anyway, this begs the question as to why the command below doesn't work. When I run it, I get: genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory './raw/boot/loader'! Of course, the directory does exist and gnisoimage even scans it! I'm really getting desparate here! Any help would be appreciated. Mike
