thanks mika, 

I meant to ask, what exact genisoimage command within grml-live is used 
to create from the grml-live bootstraped directory into the cd image iso 
file. 

thanks

mkisofs -V ... -publisher ... -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
        -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \
        -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -o /path/to/grml.iso .

mkisofs vs genisoimage

that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks mika.

A new question, I see that you are still maintaining the mkisofs package 
mika. I'm curious why, because in Debian, the genisoimage is recommended/
enforced instead. 

Apart from features available in mkisof (e.g., smkzftree), the 
genisoimage package also includes extra tools useful for working with ISO 
images:

  * dirsplit - easily separate large directory contents into disks of
    predefined size
  * geteltorito - extract an El Torito boot image from a CD image

I'm just curious...

Thanks

mkisofs is available also if you use genisoimage of Debian, because
there's a symlink /usr/bin/mkisofs pointing to /usr/bin/genisoimage.
