Burning HFS CD under Linux

I am trying to backup my HFS drive to an .iso image so that I can use a burner on a different machine, the latest xcdroast doesn't seem to allow me to master HFS images. Is there any other programme that will let me do this?

to put it simply, I want to backup my mac drives to CD, and I don't have anything on the mac side to do this for me.

I don't know of a package, but you could do it by hand with the mkisofs. It handles HFS images. However, a MAC *should* be able to read standard iso9660 images??

Yeah, your best bet would probably to use mkisofs and create a HFS/iso9660 hybrid disk image (I think with the -gh option??). It has lots of HFS and mac options so you may have to sift through them to figure everything out. One problem might be loosing the resource fork of the mac files when you copy everything to the disk image.. but it's been a while since I've used linux on a mac so maybe there's a way around that?
