An easier way around this problem, but a bit more clumsy, is to
simply create a tar file of the data. Transfer the tar file
to the PC, and write the tar file to the CD.
I may be wrong, but I thought that mkisofs can only be run by
root... This is certainly true with some operating systems
as it can be abused.
