Hi,

I just tried to

  mkisofs 

some part of an NFS-mounted Disk on a 2.1.5-machine with command

mkisofs -N -d -R -T -x /somedir -l -L -o out.iso .
(WorkinDir was "/somedir")

Afterwards I transferred the iso-File to a Windowas95-machine to
burn a CD (Yes, I have checked that the transfer was binary).
Burning the CD as non-single-volume ended up with a spoiled CD,
which was not mountable on any OS I tried. The answers of the
mount command were variations of:

  unrecognized file system

Im not sure wether I have to change command options or to do anything
else (mkisofs did not work at all without opions -N -d for failing
assertions).
So, I you have an idea what went wrong, please answer soon. I fear to
run out of CDs, when doing all the testing on my own (my boss won't
appreciate).

Thanks

  Frank
