I assume "your" is referring to me. I found my webpage which has very old
notes. I had copied-and-pasted from somewhere else.

My actual script uses:

mkhybrid -o output.iso -b myboot.fs -c boot.catalog -a -l -D -J -R -L $DIRTREE

I had a note about -R instead of -r so attributes are correct.

The example I accidently copied (a couple years ago?) was from
/usr/src/etc/Makefile.

I use it for teaching classes, troubleshooting, recovering files from NTFS
systems, backup DNS, NAT, temporary web services, X demonstrations, etc.
