Man, I can hardly tell what your tryin to accomplish ;) Seems your tryin to make an image of an image ;)
No, burnt iso to cd create bootable cd's. It's not a store iso file. I'm trying to check the bootable cd by remaking the iso and comparing it with the mandrake supplied md5sums.
OK, but I've never noticed it before, nor any wish to, god forbid I should install linux in windows.

I don't know what autorun.exe is doing here , but is there some way I can tell mkisofs to ignore it and proceed.
Any suggestions welcome.

IIRC, autorun.exe is for starting the install from Windoze. Leave it in otherwise a new hdlist for the iso will be needed (genhdlist)
But I found I can overcome the problem with,
mkisofs -v -o temp.iso /mnt/cdrom/*
but that cuts our -r recursive , and -j something to do with joliet file systems, and the question is will the resulting md5sum be the same as that provided by mandrake on their web site, because , I'm thinking that maybe it makes a difference to the end result ?
So I guess I'm really asking is how would mandrake of create their md5sums in the first place , what exact command line would they employ, and does it make a difference which flags are used ?
