I'm interested in creating an ISO, but am not sure how to go about it. Is there a favorite utility to use?

If you want to create an iso file - man mkisofs :)
If you want to make a bootable iso in specific - there are many how-to's on that, have a search.

Uranus gave the answer to you.

the tool is mkisofs

the man page explains how to use it... they have usage examples in the man page as well.

also, there are quite a few threads on here about how to make an iso, if you use the search.

Sam That's what I use...

mkisofs myimage.iso /directory/to/be/imaged

And if you have an existing cd/dvd that you want to make an iso of, use dd

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myiso.iso
