What you called filename should be the ISO (top of my head, I think the only 
exception is if you're creating an audio CD with only WAV/AIFF files that go 
into tracks). So use mkisofs first, then burncd.


HTH,

hmmm.  so you can  only burn an ISO image onto a CD. 
not anything else?  like UFS or any other format?

No, you can burn any format you want.  
You have to remember what it is to mount it again, though;
most people will assume it's an ISO 9660 if it's on a CD.

It can be useful to burn a raw tar or dump file to a CD,
for example.

I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out. Though in order to have 
anything bootable (from a CD rom) you'd have no other choice than iso, or 
not? (I sometimes made these mini install CDs containing only the 2.88 floppy 
image but I always thought of it as an ISO with the bootable image being 
specified. I'm now wondering if I misunderstood this).

Cheers,

Dan
