Ok, this seems good news. But the thing is this. I have looked at the man page already, but I don't understand much of it :-( There are some *.img files in the "images" directory, but I presume these are for floppies. Then there are some files in "isolinux", but how and what I would not know. The man page presumes that a person using mkisofs actually understands the components of build-up of a CD; I don't ;-) I was actually hoping that someone with experience or knowledge would explain what to do, which file to use, and what mkisofs command to use ;-) I suppose this is one of those things that once you have done one, you never forget, but unfortunately I have never come remotely close to this :-) Thanks anyway.
