My experience was that the 2.01.01 alpha series mkisofs didn't always seem suitable for this purpose, actually even the cdrtools release notes discouraged its use from time to time. The other reason is that for over a year now the 2.01.01 alpha release notes indicate a non-alpha release being imminent, i.e. it didn't look like we'd use 2.01 for yet another year: <...> NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a41: ******* NOTE: cdrtools is currently in a state just before a new major release. <...> Note that up to 2.01.01a27 the release notes also sounded like 2.01.01 would only be a minor update to 2.01 released "soon". Anyway, those requiring the latest alpha version always can install the cdrtools-devel port instead. Marius
