2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain KisoCD

You can get it from http://kisocd.sourceforge.net/index.html.

2.2 Requirement

Of course Qt (2.2) and KDE(tested with 1.92, more current releases should also work) have to be installed. The enviroment-variable HOME has to be set, you need mkisofs and cdrecord (if you only want to create the iso-images, you do not need cdrecord). 

For mounting and viewing images you need to have your kernel compiled with the "loopback-device".
Since some time cdrecord includes mkisofs. Please make sure that you don't use cdrecord version 1.6.X or one of the 1.8-alpha-versions. Use at least 1.8.1 (stable), or you may run into problems.

If you use cdrecord version 1.9.X (or 1.10.X, when it is out) call kisocd.sh -c109. The current default is to use version 1.8.X.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install KisoCD on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KisoCD distribution (for make install you have to be root!):  

% make -f Makefile.dist
% ./configure
% make
% make install
You can use "kdesu" instead of a shellscript in an xterm to log in as root. If you prefer this method, copy "kisocdII.desktop_kdesu" to "kisocdII.desktop" before.

Since KisoCD uses autoconf you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at j.w.wulf at gmx.net
