hi,
I want to make iso images of red hat 9,wich are in D the drive of
windows partition,to the c drive(windows),in linux with this command:
cat /mnt/win-d/redhat/disk1 > /mnt/win-c/disk1.iso
but there is a message"cat:/mnt/win-d/redhat/disk1 is a directory"
plz tell me where is the mistake and if you plz write me the complete
mkisofs command for this,i read the man mkisofs but don't know how to
apply for this case.

Try this....
cd /mnt/win-d/redhat/disk1

then type:
mkisofs –r –o /mnt/win-c/disk1.iso .

Note: that period ( . ) is important

I am not entirely sure what you're asking, but if you have the RH9 discs and you want to make ISOs from them, you can use the dd command like this: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/wherever/RH9Disc1.iso.

Hope this helps.
