Hi Michelle,
Tks for your advice.
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=new_cd_image.raw bs=1M count=650
2) mkfs.ext2 -b 1024 -m 0 new_cd_image.raw
3) mount new_cd_image.raw /mnt -o loop
4) Copy your stuff onto it
5) Burn the RAW image onto CD
I tried the steps but did succeed. I made the test on a FC3 PC on
another location as I did not have a Knoppix LiveCD 4.0.2 in hand.
Steps performed as follows;
# dd if=/dev/zero of=new_cd_image.raw bs=1M count=650
650+0 records in
650+0 records out
# mkfs -t ext3 -b 1024 -m 0 new_cd_image.raw
mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
new_cd_image.raw is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y

(Remark: the files to be copied on a partition of fs ext3
also tested "mkfs.ext2 -b 1024 -m 0 new_cd_image.raw"
with the same result, not successful)
