Munir,
Since I don't have RH5.2 yet, I couldn't say,.
However the catalog file is not read by the mkisofs command, but created by
it so it won't exist. The file that is needed by mkisofs to create a
bootable CD is misc/boot/autoboot.img, but it seems that from RH5.1 onwards
this file has not been made available on their FTP site :-(
I suggest you try using the boot.img file in the images directory that is
used to create the boot floppy, or you could try the file you suggest,
although I would recommend copying them to misc/boot/ first. I'm afraid
it is a case of suck it and see (trial and error), if you find a
combination that works, then please do let me know.
cheers,
Graham....
