I installed mondo/mindi on my work server recently (Woody). I tested it out
on an almost identical system at home first and didn't have too many
problems - managed to backup and restore a running system with no problems.
I've used the stock standard "stable" packages - mondo_1.41.1-1_i386.deb
and mindi_0.58.r5-1woody1_i386.deb. Everything is fine until it runs
mkisofs to make the CD image. I see that others have problems with this,
but haven't seen a fix. Is it something to do with the
mindi-data/mindi-boot filenames being too long??
Can anybody help?
Here is my command line (similar result when scratch/temp files not
specified):
mondoarchive -O -i -d /tmp/backup.iso -l LILO -f /dev/hda -S
/var/tmp/mondo-scratch -k FAILSAFE -T /var/tmp/mondo-temp -E "/home /mnt"
Here is the relevant part of the log:

OK, time to make CD #1
OK, you're telling me this is the last CD. Fair enough.
