heavytull <heavytull@xxxxxxxxxxx> wasted precious bandwith with:

i put some file in a directory called 'root' in my home directory
#cd ~

i put isolinux.bin and isolinux.boot in root/boot/
now i call mkisofs
~$ mkisofs -o
myiso.iso -v -R -A 'label' -V 'label' -no-emul-boot
-boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 -b root/boot/isolinux.bin -c
root/boot/isolinux.boot root/* mkisofs 2.01.01a23
(i686-pc-linux-gnu) mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog
directory 'root/boot/'!

mkisofs returns the above error while the boot catalog directory
root/boot/ is actually there.

Why bother with all that when you could just use x-cdroast to burn
your disks?
:(

If you're going to do something once, use the GUI, if you're going to
be doing it multiple times, use a script:)

Someone asked me the difference between ignorance and apathy,
I told them I don't know and I don't care.
