Edgar,
I was bored tonight so I thought I would fool around with your issue. If
you are planning to make changes to the CD set, then you will want to go
through and perform all the steps as described in the documentation.
The following steps bypass much of the documentation.
I tried the steps on a real FC2 cd that I installed from. I received
the following errors. They appear to be fatal to me:
cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/comps.rpm': Input/output error
cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/hdlist': Input/output error
cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/hdlist2': Input/output error
Moreover, not all of the directories were copied from the cd into my
working directory.
Since I still had the ISO file that I used to create the CD with I tried
these steps. They are a little different from the two sites listed
below but have the same intent. You will have to adapt the file paths
to your system. (The pathing is for a samba/NFS server.)
# Switch to root
su - root
# Go to the ISO directory location.
cd /home/ddrive/fedoracore2
# Mount the ISO file.
mount -t iso9660 -o loop FC2-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom
#Make a set of working directories
mkdir -p /home/fdrive/fc2iso
mkdir -p /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386
# Copy the files from the CD/ISO.
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/* /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386
cp /mnt/cdrom/.discinfo /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386
# Clean up the original cd TRANS.TBL files.
find /home/fdrive/fc2iso -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
# Go to the location of disc 1 files.
cd /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386
# Make sure the /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 directory has
# the same files as the /mnt/cdrom directory .
ls -l
# Make sure that I create the iso file in the directory
# above the directory containing the files in the iso.
cd /home/fdrive/fc2iso
# Create the iso. Note the \ has to be the last character
# on the line. I did this for readability on my part.
mkisofs -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat -J -p "chillux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
-V "Fedora Core 2 with updates disc1" \
-r -T -v -A "Fedora Core Linux/i386 2" \
-o fedoracore2-disc1.iso -no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l i386
The final output showed:

I hope this helps,

How did you "copy" the first disk? When following
these instructions
http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/PreparingTheBuildEnvironment,
did you perform steps 1, 2, 3--just for CD ONE,
and
7? I point this out
because of the segmentation fault during the
directory tree writing
step, "> Writing: Directory tree"
[root@chillux fedora-custom]# mkisofs -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -J -p
"chillux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" -V "Fedora Core 2 with
updates disc1" -r -T -v -A "Fedora Core
Linux/i386
2"
-o fedoracore2-disc1.iso -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size

Your mkisofs options look good based on
http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html#s8
and
http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/CustomizingFedoraCore.

Why the fault here?
I tried the same with this:
mkisofs -J -p "user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" -P "Red Hat"
-r
-T
-V "Fedora Core 1 with updates disc2" -v -A
"Fedora
Core Linux/i386 1" -o fedoracore1-disc2.iso i386
but I need the first image bootable !!!
I am occuping the Fedora Core 2, I didnt change
anything, I just simple copy the first disk and
try to
make it iso but I didnt work ...
Any idea ?
