Making Data CDs

[Gerard Samuel]

Ok, I figured out my problem.
1.  The orignal data was on an NFS drive and not everything was copied 
for some reason, to the current directory.
2.  Pass the -R switch to mkisofs, so it can handle directory depths 
more than 6 deep.

Now I seem to have a proper CD.  Thanks for your replies...
