mkisofs is really not hard to do Andrew I can do that, I have requirements that need to emulate the installer cd. If I just needed to make a custum cd catalyst is fine or the good old fasion way works too. The point is your installer cd is useless since it cannot be reproduced this makes it proprietary, thats not to say it doesnt work as intended.

Let's not start this again. It comes down to this:

* they are a work in progress, constantly changing
* they don't work with the released version of catalyst

Well... as I gather this has already been discussed.

Alternatively if you need this so badly make your own darned cd. It really cant be that difficult. After a simple google search I ended up with this.
