I wanted to create a DVD ISO for the latest Mandrake release. I found some info on a German site. Here is what I did.

Downloaded the ISO’ and put them in a new directory.
mkdir ISO
mv Mandrakelinux10.0-Official-Download-CD* ISO

cd ISO

mkdir cd1 cd2 cd3 cd4

Mounted the ISO’s

mount -o ro,loop Mandrakelinux10.0-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso cd1
mount -o ro,loop Mandrakelinux10.0-Official-Download-CD2.i586.iso cd2
mount -o ro,loop Mandrakelinux10.0-Official-Download-CD3.i586.iso cd3
mount -o ro,loop Mandrakelinux10.0-Official-Download-CD4.i586.iso cd4

copy the isolinux directory and remove the boot.cat file

cp -a cd1/isolinux .
rm -f isolinux/boot.cat

make the new iso and burn it to a DVD.

mkisofs -o Mandrake_10.0.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info
-table -J -l -P Mandrake -r -V Mandrake_10.0 -x cd1/isolinux -graft-points cd1 isolinux/=isolinux Boot/=cd2/Boot Mandrake/=cd2/Mandrake
Mandrake/=cd3/Mandrake Mandrake/=cd4/Mandrake

It created a 2.7GB iso for me.

Cheers…
