some time ago, I was needing to create a cd with win98 and some drivers togheter, to do so I used nero. nero could do that for you. first I think you need to create your OS floppy disk then go to nero to do it.

Like mkisofs or something?
When you say make an ISO image of your OS, do you mean an image of the files and directories in your OS onto an ISO9660 filesystem?
If so, making a bootable CD should be fairly easy, just have a bootable floppy image, and tell mkisofs to use that image as a bootimage (-b myfloppy.img) or something.
Or do you want a specific filesystem?
Hope that helps.

.iso files are generally just an image of a filesystem. Usually that filesystem is ISO9660 but I guess you could use any filesystem that your OS supports.

If you are using Linux or Unix like system there is a K3B.This is a graphical tool for recording CDs, but it also can write an ISO file.

I want to make an iso image file, I don't want burn a CD, because I want to host in internet the iso image file.

Then I second the mkisofs suggestion. This will give you the iso disk image you require.
