Hi Sanjeev,

The following is a quick command-line "cheat-sheet" for making and
burning ISOs.

hth,
Ed


  #======================================

  #  Make ISO9660 file system with Rock Ridge (Unix) and 
  #  Joliet (MS-long-filenames-crap) extensions and follow 
  #  any soft links:
  mkisofs -R -J -f -o  file.iso  /path/

  #  Same as above but instead preserve (don't follow) the 
  #  soft links:
  mkisofs -R -J -o  file.iso  /path/


  #  Mount the ISO image using the loopback device to test 
  #  that it did what you wanted (got all the right files):
  mkdir ./test
  mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop   file.iso   ./test
  cd ./test
  ls
  cd ..
  umount ./test


  #  Burn the ISO image to the CDR:
  cdrecord -v -speed=4 -dev=0,0 -eject    cell_990920.iso
  cdrecord -v -speed=8 -dev=0,0 -eject    cell_990920.iso
  cdrecord -v -speed=12 -dev=0,0 -eject    cell_990920.iso
  cdrecord -v -speed=16 -dev=0,0 -eject    cell_990920.iso

  #  Re-Burn a CD-RW:
  cdrecord -v -speed=2 -dev=0,0 -eject blank=fast  pub.iso

  #  Backup a directory larger than a single CDR
  tar -cvf - /path/ | gzip | split -b690m - bkup.`date '+%Y%m%d'`.tgz.
