I use mkisofs and using the following syntax, you can maintain a
directory structure within the iso file:

mkisofs -J -l -log-file cdlog -o system.iso -r /

This would create an image of your complete directory structure
beginning at / and maintain the structure.  If you place an *
after the /, you would not get the directory structure, only the
files.
