Hi! Maybe someone can shed a little light on this...
When I have a structure like ./firstfile ./firstdirectory ./firstdirectory/secondfile ./firstdirectory/seconddirectory ./firstdirectory/seconddirectory/thirdfile and I do `mkisofs -l -v -o test.iso *` the contents of firstdirectory are placed in the root of the iso-image alongside firstfile: bash-2.03# mount -o loop -t iso9660 test.iso /mnt/loop/ bash-2.03# ls -la /mnt/loop/ total 5 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 6 2001 . drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 1024 Jul 5 2000 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 6 2001 firstfile dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 6 2001 seconddirectory -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 6 2001 secondfile I can´t find anything related to this problem in the documentation, so I have to work around it by adding yet another level of directories, eg ./temp/firstfile ./temp/firstdirectory ./temp/firstdirectory/secondfile ./temp/firstdirectory/seconddirectory ./temp/firstdirectory/seconddirectory/thirdfile bash-2.03# mkisofs -l -v -o test.iso * bash-2.03# mount -o loop -t iso9660 test.iso /mnt/loop/ bash-2.03# ls -la /mnt/loop/ total 5 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 6 2001 . drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 1024 Jul 5 2000 .. dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 6 2001 firstdirectory -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 6 2001 firstfile mkisofs is bash-2.03# mkisofs --version mkisofs 1.12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) bash-2.03# dpkg -l | grep mkisofs ii mkisofs 1.8-3 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images. Any hints? It doesn´t matter where I place the iso-file or where pwd is (eg mkisofs -l -v -o /tmp/test.iso mkisofstest/*` does the same). TIA, &rw
