bash: line 219: mkisofs: command not found about ievms HOT 2 CLOSED

Hmm, thought my paranoid bash flags would have caught this and bailed. I'm torn about how to help though. On one hand, I want to keep this script as simple as possible. On the other, I want to support as many platforms as possible. Is it reasonable to expect that a typical gentoo user would understand a small note saying "mkisofs is required"?

i'd hope so. other distributions might not install it by default, either. the general package name is cdrtools: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html

this says how to test for a program and exit with a message if not found:
