mkisofs -q -V VOLUME_NAME -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -T -o /LinuxISO.iso .<br />Solaris
mkisofs -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -c .catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -relaxed-filenames -l -ldots -r -N -d -D -V VOLUME_NAME -o /SolarisISO.iso .<br />Windows
