hi there,

this is a question that's always been bugging me:

when i give mkisofs a directory as argument it always ads the contents of
that
directory to the iso. how can i tell mkisofs that i want the actual
directory
(including all it's contents) to be added to the iso?

cheers.

unix naming convention normally dictates the following:
cp -r /cdrom/dir /mnt/
# will create /mnt/dir and everything under it
cp -r /cdrom/dir/ /mnt/
# will copy contents of dir into /mnt


Try excluding the slash (which is the only difference).
