mkisofs is used for premastering iso9660 filesystems which are used on CDROMs. The output of mkisofs can then be sent to a CDROM writer with a utility such as cdrecord. It has support for many formats, including Rock Ridge, Joliet, and Apple HFS (beta).

Including common files in multiple CD's
Greetings,
I'm trying to burn a bunch of data to multiple CDs while including a few 'common files' on each ISO. (Like a common README file)
Is it possible to do this without doing the ISO segmentation (CD1, CD2 ...) manually?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No more updates to mkisofs
mkisofs will not receive more updates as a stand-alone program, but it can be found inside cdrecord project (http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdrecord/).

Multiple El-torito?
How does this work?
How does your bios determine which image to boot from?
Very interesting but considering there is very little documentation (went to site, viewed man pages) it doesn't seem all that usefull....yet.
