Hi to all, i wish to pose a question that could not be answered reading
'man mkisofs', or at least i was not able to do it...

I wish to reproduce the same directory structure i have on my home dir
on a burned cdr,but it does not work.

I have: /home/bob/images
.../files
.../work
and so on; i wish to have /bob/images ... etc,etc on the cdr, but i get:
/images
/files
... etc etc.

the command i use is:

mkisofs -v -L -J -r /home/bob | \
cdrecord (some options) -

Any ideas,suggestions?

Tia, Robert.

There is a mkisofs example here that will work for you:

I suggest using the "-o burn.iso" part so you can mount the image before
burning to make sure it looks like you want.

They use very similar options as i use:, only -R instead of my -r which
is stated as 'more useful' in man mkisofs. (and volume id -V that
doesn't matter)

This may be useful to check before burn.

Anyway thanks, every information is somewhat useful. (repetita juvant)
