>From the CD-Writing-HOWTO,

        mkisofs -r -o cd_image private_collection

where cd_image will be your iso9660 file and
private_collection is the directory you are
copying.

Then to see it,
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom

where cd_image is the file above, and /cdrom is
your mounting directory.  Of course you may supply
another empty directory in place of /cdrom.

Sometimes it takes an example to make it all clear.

Good luck,

John

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
