mkisofs utility


Hi,

Thanks for creating the CD Writing HOWTO. It is a great document to have around. I looked over the document and found it did not mention an issue that I am having.

By default, when I create an ISO it doesn't not until the directory as I pass it in. As an example, consider

mkisofs.exe -f -l -J -L -R -T -v -o C:\temp\cd_create-0.3\test.iso "c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07"

When I burn the ISO onto a CD, the directory j2sdk1.4.2_07 is not included. I see that mkisofs takes that directory as input. Is there a way of having it include that directory?

Thank You.

I use graft-points to include the parent directory ( aclinux ) in the iso image / cdrom data ...
Code:
mkisofs -R -J -graft-points "/aclinux=./aclinux" | cdrecord -v dev=ATA:1,0,0 -eject -multi -data -
