One problem that some users run across with isos is when they burn them to
CD. They'll burn the ISO image to the CD instead of selecting option to
create the CD from an image. So they'll end up a copy of the ISO as a file
on the CD and not a bootable CD.

Here is the mkisofs command that Slackware uses to make the install CD:
mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware Install" \
-x ./bootdisks \
-x ./extra \
-x ./slackware/gnome \
-x ./pasture \
-x ./rootdisks \
-x ./source \
-x ./zipslack \
-hide-rr-moved \
-v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -sort
isolinux/iso.sort \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
-A "Slackware Install CD" .
