Cross platform disk images

I was desperate the other day to find a way to create a cross platform CD with some pictures for my mom. macosxhints came to the rescue again.

hdiutil makehybrid -o cd-name /path/to/cd/data/

It's just that simple and the result (using the defaults) is a file called cd-name.iso with hfs, iso and joliet partition information. Use Disk Utility to burn the CD.
