Thanks for the comments.
You are right; I should point that one must be root. I'm afraid that I
always become root for this "sort of" thing so I'd failed to even
notice the necessity thereof.
I also am in the (yeah, I know, bad) habit of adding '.' to my path
always, so I also failed to specify it as ./testit.
I've fixed both of those items in the README file.
I wish it weren't necessary, but you need to be root to do the mount,
alas.
Clearly my README wasn't clear; you don't have to look at the current
mkisofs; it just takes a path are a parameter, so
./testit `which mkisofs`
was just an example; you therefore need to delete the old version for
testing purposes; instead you can just install a new version to
whereever, and test it with
./testit /opt/schily/mkisofs
I've clarified this in the README.
Thank again for your feedback.
PS: Personally I just left it in /opt/schilly and symlinked to there
from /usr/local/bin, but whatever works for you . . .

| 7. make install,

| 8. As root manually copy mkisofs from /opt/schily/ to /usr/bin,
|
| 9. Rerun the test.
