i've been using mkisofs for years to prepare iso files for recording onto cd's and more recently dvd's -- with no problems. i guess mkisofs now points to genisoimage, which now gives me the following error, which i have never seen before: % genisoimage: Directories too deep for 'cfd/2006/act/117/www/img/col-jbj-job/sav' (7) max is 6. i went through the man pages and found reference to deep directory relocation, but am not sure what that means. is there some easy way around my problem? i'm running ubuntu 8.10, intrepid ibex. dan j. daniel moylan 84 harvard ave brookline, ma 02446-6202 617-232-2360 (tel) 810-454-1823 (fax) jdm-LPA1KyJyIuz1P9xLtpHBDw@public.gmane.org www.moylan.us [death to html bloat!]
