Yes. In general an ISO for a "full" CD will be something less thna 700MB.

However, you have be be careful if your are writing the ISO file to the
same drive you are making the ISO from:

To make on ISO image of you C: drive use:

m:
mkisofs -v -o /dons.iso -r -J m:/

will work, but

m:
mkisofs -v -o /dons.iso -r -J m:/

will get you in trouble. To avoid telling mksiofs to put the iso inside
itself you need to do something like

m:
mkisofs -v -o /dons.iso -r -J -m dons.iso m:/

HTH,

Steven
