You don't have to fiddle with the boot image. Howver, if you want an image that's
bootable then you need to know which is the file and to specify it on the mkisofs
command.

That's another way. The MD5SUM won't match, so it won't be an authentic copy though.

For Linux-based CD burners I quite like gcombust which hides all the command

If you stick the CD in you PC and copy the files over into a big fat file that
is formatted like an ISO image, you lose the boot image. So you will not have

You can use the mkisofs command to create an ISO image from any

mkisofs -r -o my.iso /cd_directory
(to burn ISO images you can use the cdrecord command on systems that

But that is making an ISO image out of files rather than out of a CD.
You woul
