Jason, Make a filesystem, under your home directory where the only files that will be there are the power point files you wish to copy, such as: /home/jason/powerpoint/ then cp your files to put on cd to the directory you just created. For example, if they were in root, which would be a HUGE no-no, then do this: cd / cp *.ppt /home/jason/powerpoint/* Ensure they all have a different filename. Then run the mkisofs command IN the directory, creating your .iso image. Then you can burn that .iso file onto the CD. As Jonathan said, ensure you have either Rock Ridge or Joliet filesystem enabled so you get long filenames instead of the 8.3 standard MSDOS filenames. It should work for you this way.
