Can you clarify what you mean by 'point mkisofs to the boot image'? It seems that 'man mkisofs' calls up pages about genisoimage. I've got the CD mounted on my Linux box. ls -al /mnt/cdrom shows only SPINRITE.EXE and nothing else. However the CD is bootable and I see FreeDOS info when it's booting so maybe all the autoexec.bat/config.sys stuff is hidden somewhere. Linux isn't seeing it. - Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
