List: Newbie question here, How do I create an .iso image from a subdirectory of files. Say the subdirectory is /home/latest containing say 50 files or so. I have a ATAPI read/write that I want to use, and I want to make a collection of .iso files that I can then burn CDROMs from when needed. I know the command set for burncd (Or I've printed the man pages anyway) however I don't see how to create the .iso file initially. Oh yea, I'm using version 4.5 FreeBSD. Help?
