zip -r directory directory
This creates the archive directory.zip, containing all the files and directories in the directory directory that is contained within the current directory.
zip directory *
This creates a zip file named directory.zip and contains all the files on the current working directory.
zip -j directory directory/*
You can use this if you want to create a zip archive and omits its directory name.
-j option - Store just the name of a saved file (junk
the path), and do not store directory names. By default, zip will store the full
path (relative to the current path).
Here's a great how to that is documented for Asterisk newbies. I am using it as a guide as well.

Ok. So I am playing around with Trixbox lately. I got a Asus P5B-VM board, 8 Gigs of memory, 2 Sata hard drives, and a Jmicron Controller. A pretty good setup for a VOIP system. But I'm having a strange problem. First, the installation asks for driver disk. I use the all-generic-ide=1 option and the installation continues.But, it proceeds with the Centos 4 install only!
ISO Image, from the definition of wikipedia, is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc using a coventional ISO format that is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO but Mac OS X ISO images often have the extension ".CDR". The name "ISO" is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media but the term ISO image can refer to any optical disc image, even a UDF image.
CD/DVD-ROM to .ISO
If you are looking for a cd/dvd -rom to iso creator, Lucersoft is offering this free handy tool. No need for you to install the program. It's that easy.
1. Download the file here.
2. Unzip the file on your hard drive/Desktop.
3. Just click on the icon, and it will automatically locate where your CD/DVD-ROM is.
4. Hit the "Create ISO" button. It will ask for a location. Your new disk image will be stored there. Then click "Save". After a couple of minutes, you will have your own ISO image!
