making a cd image of a directory

making a cd image of a directory

[Daniel Crone]

I have some files which I want to put on to a cd r.  All the files are in 
one dir.  How should this be done?  Feel free to write me off list if you 
want to do so.

Yes, but this is only part of the story. This will produce an iso file 
image called cdimage.iso. Some of the rest of the story might be:

1.)	You can give the image any name you want;
2.)	There may be other options you might want to specify. Do:

	mkisofs --help 2>&1 |more

	to see what the options are;
3.)	There's still the business of creating a cdrom from the iso image 
file. For that you need cdrecord, and you may need to install scsi 
emmulation if you don't have scsi already, somehow;

Sorry about that.  Since Danny's question was straight forward, it sounded to me like he had done it before, and just needed a mind refresher on how to get started. Of course, Janina's message below is correct, but I would recommend that you read the cd writing howto to get the full story.
