I've been unable to make a bootable cd image with mkisofs in Slackware 11.0. I'm using the instrctions from README.TXT in the isolinux directory (if you have an install cd it is on the first disk). Here is the relevant part of the file:

To make the first (bootable) ISO, a command like this is used within the
directory where the disc tree is. Let's say the directory is 'd1' and you
wish to output the ISO image in /tmp:

cd d1
mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware-install-1.iso \
-R -J -A "Slackware Install 1" \
-hide-rr-moved \
-v -d -N \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table \
-sort isolinux/iso.sort \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
-V "SlackCD1"

When I run this command I get this error message:

mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
mkisofs: Missing pathspec.

I can't figure out what the missing pathspec is, anyone know?
Mike.

IICR you forgot to append the current folder to tell what files makeisofs should put in the iso image. Append " ." (space dot) and it should work IMHO.

That was it, thanks titopoquito.
Mike.

lol yea if your in the directory tree when you run the command if not then you need the the path.
