convert a directory to ISO in ESX3

在ESX3.0中将可以将一个目录制作成ISO文件，但由于ESX3 COS是一个经过裁剪的Linux(RHEL, 2.5x为RH7.3)操作系统，因此需要安装mkisofs包。

安装过程如下：

# mount -o loop -t iso9660 -r /vmimages/os-isoimages/linux/RHFC5/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso  /mnt/cdrom/

# cd /mnt/cdrom

# ls

安装完成后，做个测试：

# cd /

# mkisofs –o tmp.iso –r /tmp –J

然后就可以在VM中mount下试试了
