[SLE] mkiso and mkisofs defaults
Apparently some references on the list to generating an ISO image have used "mkiso". After poking around I found in the SuSE distribution "mkisofs". After examining the MAN page for mkisofs it turns out to be a complicated command. The MAN page did not provide the DEFAULTS that some of the list examples seem to assume. QUESTION: Does anyone know the defaults for mkisofs? Hope someone does! Ted

Alas, there are no defaults. Just give everything you want. For example I use, for one of my applications: mkisofs -z -R -quiet -graft-points \ -P "Not Published, private backup" \ -p "Carlos E. R., somebody at host somewhere dot es" \ -V "System Backup, Linux" \ -o imagefile.iso source_directory \ download/=/home/cer/download/ \ _usr_src_packages_packages/=/usr/src/packages/ \ patches/=/var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/7.3/ Don't use -z, that's not for you. Want more info? There is a howto on the distro, read it. ;-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
