To burn a DVD of a jurisdiction: . Ensure the staging directory is clean and up-to-date . mkisofs -allow-lowercase -iso-level 3 -joliet-long -allow-leading-dots -volid -quiet -D -o .iso . insert blank DVD (CD is enough for GoldCoast?) . cdrecord .iso The '-volid ' option puts a name on the DVD/CD that is displayed by the filesystem when the disk is mounted. Recommend be 'GoldCoast', etc. The '-D' option allows 'deep' directories, the standard 6 isn't enough.
