Here is what I use to create a cd with different dir's on one iso.All
the dir'd show up on the root of the cd-r and as separate dir's. This
may have the same effect as burning 4 iso's to th cd-r. The
-graft-points is the key, afaikt. I am not so sure about the
-joliet-long, its been awhile since I used this but I was having trouble
with really long file names.

"mkisofs -joliet-long -R -o pabi_backup.iso -graft-points
