- What is mkisofs:
-
- mkisofs is effectively a pre-mastering program to generate the iso9660
- filesystem - it takes a snapshot of a given directory tree, and
- generates a binary image which will correspond to an iso9660
- filesystem when written to a block device.
-
- mkisofs is also capable of generating the System Use Sharing Protocol
- records specified by the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol. This is used
- to further describe the files in the iso9660 filesystem to a unix
- host, and provides information such as longer filenames, uid/gid,
- posix permissions, and block and character devices.
-
-
- PACKAGE INCLUDE:
-
- mkisofs: Allow you to make a iso9660 or Rock Ridge CD images in your NS.
- All compiler warning messages eliminated.
-
- isoinfo: Simple program to dump contents of iso9660 image in more usable format.
- isovfy: Simple program to verify contents of iso9660 image

- AUTHOR:
-
- Eric Youngdale <ericy@gnu.ai.mit.edu> wrote both the linux isofs9660
- filesystem and the mkisofs utility, and is currently maintaining them.
- The copyright for the mkisofs utility is held by Yggdrasil Computing,
- Incorporated.
-
- AVAILABILITY:
-
- I will upload it to ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/ within day
- or so.
-
- source: mkisofs-1.0.5.src.tar.gz
- binary: mkisofs-1.0.5.I.tar.gz for intel platform.
- binary: mkiosfs-1.0.5.NI.tar.gz for intel and m68k fat binaries
- (you can trim the fat using lipo) I never tested on m68k!
-
-
-
-
- PLATFORM:
-
- I used it on NS/intel 3.3 DEV compiled with "posix" patched and should
- work flawlessly on other NS with 3.3 or greater.
