I don't understand... I thought that the ISO format
doesn't support linux / unix file permissions. How
do you store this type of information to the cdrom?
Me thinks that it might be good to create a HOWTO
on creating your own bootable linux cdrom.

Certain files on the CD need certain permissions.
Each directory comes with a file called .listing that
tells you the permissions needed by everything in that
directory. So I ran a script to do what the .listing
files say! It's ugly but it worked.
cd <top directory containing files for the cd>
find . -type d -print | grep -v " " | while read ddd
do
listingfix $ddd
done
(listingfix is attached)
