 |
|
| Are there any good tools for making an ISO image? (not ripping, but from files on my hard drive) Had a look, couldn't find anything... |

What kind are you looking for?
If you're okay with CLI, mkisofs would work fine.
| Code: | | mkisofs -o image.iso dir1 dir2 etc.. |
Check the man page for more options.
As the syntax should imply, mkisofs does not support adding files directly as part of the ISO; they must be added as directories. Also be warned that the deafult options mkisofs uses is pretty strict about adhearing to the ISO9660 standard, which means MS DOS 8.3 style filenames (e.g; bleh~1.ble).
xcdroast can also premaster images for use in ISOs. Its defaults are also a little more sane for modern systems.
I'm sure there are others that support making cd images, but those are the only two I've had any amount of experience with. |

| Umm, that's about what I'm looking for. I pretend emerged mkisofs to see if it was available, then synced, but then it had disappeared! Seems to have moved to cdrtools. |

I'm having a problem mounting the image:
| Code: | proxima shaurz # mount -t iso9660 -o loop ~/cdimg.iso /cdrom
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop# |

Type
| Code: | | $ grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP /usr/src/linux/.config |
Is that set to y or m? If not, you'll need to compile in the loopback support in your kernel.
It should be found in Block Devices->Loopback Device Support |

It would seem I haven't compiled in loopback support. I have a habit of selecting/installing the bare minimum, and then adding things as I need them ^_^
Thanks |

xcdroast works spiffily for me.
It's not exactly intuitive, but I use CLI only when I know exactly what I'm doing, which is rare  |
