Oh brother, I've found it. The graft point definition defines the directory of files to be included as well. So there is no need to specify the second /home/fkliron/tmp again (otherwise they will be doubly scanned). The correct version is just mkisofs -v -o /home/tmp/test.iso -r -J -graft-points file_dir/=/home/fkliron/tmp <div>On 4/20/06, Filippos Klironomos <<a href="mailto:presariod@gmail.com"> presariod@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="direction: ltr;">I've been trying to use graft points under mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) and they don't seem to work propery.
