hi @all,

i am about to build my own rescue cd.
I build my iso with the following command:

mkisofs -o /tmp/RESCUE.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot 
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l -R -r .

after buning the iso on cd I can boot my rescue system.
unfortunately, i have figured out that there are some files with a lack 
of permissions e.g. I have a bin/su in the tree for the iso with the 
following permission settings:
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        91469 Oct 12 10:50 /ROOT_DIR/bin/su

after checking the file when the cd has booted:

-rw-rw-rw     1 root     root        91469 Oct 12 10:55 /bin/su

so, the suid-bit has gone! can someone please tell me where it is gone 
:-))) And what to do to solve this problem?

tia
