I use option -graft-points [Allow to use graft points for filenames], so I would type: mkisofs -graft-points -R -o /tmp/backup.iso /home/=/home/ \ /root/=/root/ The additional slash after "home" and "root" is just to be sure. I've had problems with the missing second slash. Actually I think it's better "home/=" than "/home=". Don't flame me if I'm wrong.
