#175408 — ISO9660 creator in Debian Jessie

I need a prog to create an ISO image of files to transfer to a second
machine for burning, but I've suddenly found that my rich collection of
tools is noew depreciated and D'd in Debian Jessie.

Unfortuantely, all that both machines have is Xfburn, which it gives
you an option of creating an ISO, it only does so if the burner is in
that machine. Major bummer.

I'm looking for recommendations that do work in this situation.

T.I.A.

Sounds like an unfortunate design.

I have on my todo list to test CDEmu ( http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ ),
a set of kernel module and userland tools to emulate the existence of
an optical drive. Regrettably it is not offered by Debian.

Did you already try Brasero or K3B ? (They might pull in lots of other
Debian packages which they need to run.)

I myself can offer command line program xorriso and its frontend demo
xorriso-tcltk. Both with quite lean dependencies.

xorriso is available as Debian package.
To put a copy of directory "$HOME"/for_iso as "/" into file my_image.iso:

  xorriso -outdev my_image.iso -map "$HOME"/for_iso /

If you tell me your particular intention and directory situation on
hard disk, then i will make a proposal how to compose a suitable
xorriso command line.

xorriso-tcltk is available from
  https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libisoburn/raw/master/frontend/xorriso-tcltk
Use a file manager or command "chmod" to give exection permission to the
file after download. The script needs Debian packages "tcl", "tk", andi
"bwidget".
Write your intended ISO image path to the field "Output drive/image".
Toggle the name of an input file or directory into field "Insert from disk"
and press the Enter key, or use the "/" button to the right of that field
to get a file browser.
When the composition is done, click button "Write ISO session".


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

I don't know about Brasero, but K3b can do that, "New data project" ->
<add files> -> "Burn" -> check "Only create image" -> go to the "Image"
tab to change the path for the image.
And yes, you won't need the whole KDE desktop, but quite a number of
additional packages (unless KDE is already installed).

Regards

Michael

I'd echo this, use genisoimage, but read the man page first, you will almost
certainly want to also use the -J and -r arguments too.
