I am using the script here: http://mirror.poundhost.com/mirror.caosity.org/centos/build/mkdvdiso.sh and it runs without errors.
I found a better script a few months ago: "How to make your own RedHat 8.0 DVDfrom the CD ISO images" but it has disappeared from the where I obtained it:http://www.rickertweb.com/~justin/Make_RedHat_DVD_From_CDROM.htmlPerhaps a web search will reveal other copies.
The script is better because it requires only about 4.5MB disk space morethan the sources, instead of another complete copy (> 2GB) of all files.
Here is what I did; edit as appropriate:
-----
mount -o ro,loop RHEL4-i386-WS-disc1.iso /mnt/tmp1 # etc. for discs 2,3,4
cp -a /mnt/tmp1/isolinux /mnt/tmp1/.discinfo .
chmod +w isolinux/isolinux.bin
{Edit ./.discinfo file to list four CDs "1,2,3,4" instead of just "1"}
mkisofs -v -pad -o RHEL4-i386-DVD.iso \
-V "RHEL4-i386-DVD.2005-02-16" \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-r -R -T -m TRANS.TBL \
-x /mnt/tmp1/.discinfo \
-x /mnt/tmp1/isolinux \
-graft-points /mnt/tmp1 .discinfo=.discinfo isolinux/=isolinux \
RedHat=/mnt/tmp2/RedHat \
RedHat=/mnt/tmp3/RedHat \
RedHat=/mnt/tmp4/RedHat
