Original Question:
I’m in the process of making a bootable Tru64 5.1a cd with my backup software
located in its var directory. I tarred the contents of the CD onto a disk and used
the mkisofs command to make the bootable CD. Then I ftped the file (.cdfs file) onto
my windows machine which has the burner (I’m using nero). However, it is
unsuccessful. Below is the command I’m using:
# mkisofs -D -R -d –o -b /build_disk/dunix.cdfs /cdimage
Are my steps logical--what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Denise and Olle gave almost identical replies and their suggestion worked
flawlessly; however for grins I added the –b switch to the mkisofs command. Thanks.

Maybe this will help. It's from my notes.
