# To use: cd to the directory which will form the root of the CD
# image, exclusive of boot images, etc. Run this script with
# arguments.

# Warning: builds a "table of contents" file, ls.lrF, in the current
# directory.

# N.B.: Change the name of the boot catalog, boot.catalog, if it
# conflicts with a file name in the root directory of the image!

# A suitable command line to burn the results:

# /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDRECORD dev= "0,0,0" fs=4096k \
# driveropts=burnproof -v -useinfo speed=32 -dao -dummy -eject -pad \
# -data "/var/spool/cdimages/image.name.test.iso"

# defaults in case the user doesn't provide values:

# The volume name we'll give the CD-ROM
volname="http://charlescurley.com"

# The boot image. The default is a good general purpose single floppy
# Linux disty. N.B: mkisofs mungs the image file so don't use the
# original of a file that's hard to rebuild. Use a copy. That's why we
# copy in from outside the tree.
image="/var/diskettes/tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img"

# Where we keep the CD images so xcdroast can find them.
outputdir="/var/spool/cdimages"
outputfile="image.iso"

# Explain usage and exit on error.

# Create a "table of contents" file. From "Advanced Bash-Scripting

# Here are the options we provide to mkisofs:

# -r Add Rock Ridge extensions with useful values for the permission
# bits.

# -J Add Joliet extensions to use the cd with some different operating
# systems.

# -T Generate a TRANS.TBL file in each directory to map correctly the
# file names even on systems which do not support the Rock Ridge
# extensions.

# -v be verbose.

# -V <volid> Specifies the volume ID (volume name or label) to be
# written into the master block. Some operating systems display or
# otherwise use this, so make it something descriptive.

# -c <boot catalog> Specifies the path and filename of the boot
# catalog mkisofs will generate. It is used when making an "El Torito"
# bootable CD. The pathname must be relative to the source path
# specified to mkisofs.

# -b <eltorito boot image> Specifies the path and filename of the boot
# image to be used when making an "El Torito" bootable CD. The
# pathname must be relative to the source path specified to mkisofs
# and specify a floppy image. We default to a 2.88 MB tomsrtbt
# image. For mkisofs, the pathname must be relative to the source path
# specified to mkisofs. For this script, it can be any path, as the
# script will copy it in.

# -o <filename> Name of the file containing the generated iso
# image.

# Finally, the root directory for our generated iso image (we are
# working from the root directory of the CD, so a dot is enough).
