Excuse me,
I copied that last email's directions from
http://www.nuonce.net/bq-cd.php and it's
very confusing. It is using BlueQuartz GUI for CentOS.
All you wanted was how to run mkisofs.
So this is how I do it and it seems to work.
Assuming you copied the cd contents to "custom_cd" directory
make sure .discinfo gets copied....
cd custom_cd
change isolinux/isolinux.cfg
adding console=ttyS0,38400,n8 to append statement
mkisofs -P CentOS \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
-r -J -T -o ../custom_cd.iso .
Custom_cd.iso is the name of the new ISO
burn it to a CD!
HTH
Gerald
