[Lvlug] Problem burning mandrake cd's

[Dann S. Washko]

Okay, I think I rtfm wrong.  

I tried using dd, but go a input/output error.  The disc seems to work
though, as I am doing and install right now with it.

Reading and testing mkisofs further I made the mistake the the boot image
and catalog are relative to the source location, not specific too.

That is, my source is /mnt/cdrom where the mandrake cd is mounted.  My
syntax originally was:

mkisofs -r -b /mnt/cdrom/Boot/cdrom.img -c /mnt/cdrom/Boot/boot.cat -o
/usr/storage/other/mandrake_one.iso /mnt/cdrom

I guess it should have been:

mkisofs -r -b Boot/cdrom.img -c Boot/boot.cat -o
/usr/storage/other/mandrake_one.iso /mnt/cdrom

since I have not received any complates yet.  The iso is just about done
and I will burn this to see how it goes.

Apparently that was the ticket.  I'm doing an install now with the disc.
