To create a vanilla ISO-9660 filesystem image in the  file  cd.iso,  where
the  directory
cd_dir will become the root directory if the CD, call:

% mkisofs -o cd.iso cd_dir
</snip>
-- snipped from "man mkisofs"

You might want to look at that man page, though.  There are lots of
options.  Some of them are important.  For example, if there are any long
file names, you will probably need to enable Rock-Ridge and/or Joliet file
extensions.
