Dead simple, you need everything compiled with large file support. > 2. why are there in some images mkisofs information and others not ? > cat /cdrs/redhat90-1.iso |more > mkisofs 1.14 -A Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -V Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -J -R -v -T AFAIK this info is always added to all images created with mkisofs. Some people, including Klaus Knopper, go out of their way though to erase this portion of the .iso image afterwards. > And how can I enable/disable it ? It's always on. To turn it off, find the block which contains it and overwrite the whole block with zeros. Perhaps there's an Easter egg in mkisofs to turn it off, but Jörg doesn't seem the person for this. > 3.

In fact you should hide it from being listed. b) the actual location of the files needed for boot on disk needs to be closer to the front. You aren't by any chance trying to make a bootable RH9 DVD? ALl my first attempts failed and it took quite a bit of googling to get right.
