I meant to ask, what exact genisoimage command within grml-live is used . . .

mkisofs -V ...

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
