you need the -b and -c parameters to mkisofs. for example the command used to generate the isos for gentoo install cd's goes like this: mkisofs -J -R -l -o ../gentoo.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -z . Notes: 1. I am not sure if you can specify this under k3b. mkisofs is used in the background by k3b, but how these particular parameters are referenced is unknown to me. 2. You need to figure out what mechanism is being used to boot the CD, ie what files to pass to -b and -c. isolinux is a popular choice. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
