You mention an important issue with genisoimage. Genisoimage does
not implement correct UTF-8 support. What's in genisoimage is just
a bad hack as only 50% of the places that need UTF-8 support have
been addressed and even these parts have bugs. The original
mkisofs includes complete and correct UTF-8 support.
Given the fact, that genisoimage does not support files >= 4 GB,
only implements limited UDF support, does not support hard links
and creates buggy filesystems, I see not reason why somebody would
like to use genisoimage instead of the original software.
Regarding your original issue: Ubuntu does not have the permission
to install something else under the name "mkisofs" and for this reason,
my original hint still applies: the mkisofs man page and the mkisofs program
can be retrieved here:
ftp://ftp.
http://
BTW: the real mkisofs is easy to detect:
mkisofs -version
mkisofs 2.01.01a68 (i386-pc-
mkisofs -v
Setting input-charset to 'ISO8859-1' from locale.
2.01.01a68 (i386-pc-
mkisofs: Missing pathspec.
Usage: mkisofs [options] [-find] file... [find expression]
