mkrescue gives error (bug?)
Code:
root@darkstar# mkrescue --iso Code:
# mkdir $tmpbase || { |
Something must be wrong on your computer with regard to creating temporary directories with mktemp. I ran "mkrescue --iso" multiple times. However, later on in the process, the ISO creation falls flat on its nose anyway:
Code:
mkrescue --iso Eric |
Here's what I get:
Code:
root@darkstar# mkrescue --iso Quoting from Debian bug link: Quote:

Hmm, Looks like the use of genisoimage is new to the mkrescue/lilo version in current |
GNU/Linux: You're absolutely right, you've found a bug in lilo as shipped in Slackware 14.0. Your change is OK but I've improved it a bit to make it more informative. The patch below fixes:
lilo-23.2-mkrescue-fix.diff Also, in so doing, you've revealed an issue in Slackware-current's mkrescue. It now invokes genisoimage from cdrkit (a Debian fork of cdrtools) rather than mkisofs. The patch below makes it Slackware-compatible: lilo-24.0-mkrescue-fix.diff Thanks for this report; two birds with one stone. --mancha |
I never heard back from the OP on this and I've seen no bug-fix patches for lilo on 14.0 or 14.1 so it seems the thread didn't percolate up to Pat.
If "mkrescue" is relatively esoteric then it probably doesn't matter, otherwise someone might want to send smoke signals to the appropriate people. --mancha |
