Bootable CD w/X-CD-Roast: mkisofs error

[Kenneth Dombrowski]

Hi,

After several days of trying to create a bootable Knoppix CD from the downloaded .iso, I think with xcdroast I am finally almost there. All except for this error:

Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
mkisofs 1.15a39 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Writing: Initial Padbock Start Block 0
Done with: Initial Padbock Block(s) 16

Done with: Primary Volume Descriptor Block(s) 1
Writing: Eltorito Volume Descriptor Start Block 17
mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'boot.img' !

boot.img is in the same directory as the source Knoppix image, as recommended by the 'Boot options' tab's mouseover hottip message:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 733675520 Dec 10 23:26 KNOPPIX_V3.1-10-09-2002b-EN.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 2048 Dec 11 17:07 boot.cat
-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 1474560 Dec 11 17:05 boot.img

I put it & boot.cat there by mounting the .iso and copying them from the CD with

dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=./boot.img
dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.cat of=./boot.cat


I have logging set to verbose & this is what it reports when I push the 'Master to image file' button on the 'Create session/image' tab:

the directory /home/kenneth/temp/xcdroast is where I set it to store its temporary files.

I found this page which indicates 'boot.img' must be on the source filesystem, but the source I'm using is already an .iso so I'm not sure how I can achieve that:

http://www.linuxmanagers.org/pipermail/linuxmanagers/2002-September/000695.html

I tried copying boot.img to both / & ~temp/xcdroast
I tried using the one directly off the source .iso mounted as /cdrom


I'm running sid with:
xcdroast 0.98alpha10
mkisofs 1.15a39 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)


Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Where else should I be putting the 'boot.img'?

Thanks in advance,
kenneth
