The only reason I knew anything about "xorriso -as mkisofs" is because something related to both genisoimage and mkisofs wasn't working for me, either. This Debian Wiki page is part of what I remember visiting last year: https://wiki.debian.org/genisoimage My memory this second is that the chatter went beyond just that genisoimage was not being maintained, but I don't remember exactly what convinced me to install yet another package (xorriso). Maybe it was that mention about licensing combined with the possibility of a(n alleged) stalled maintenance program. :) One question I'm left with now is that I'm getting zero response for "apt-cache search xorrisofs". I must have hit up the Internet yet again to find xorriso as an option. That or I chipped the "fs" off the tailend and tried "apt-cache search xorriso" instead... ? :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
