Could someone help me get the syntax for `genisoimage' and/or `xorriso' correct? Apparently it is not in many linux distros so below my little HOWTO shows how to compile it. ( which adds tons of crap that can go wrong) mkdir -p ISO_root/isolinux cp /usr/lib/syslinux/[i,m,v]* ISO_root/isolinux cat > ISO_root/isolinux/isolinux.cfg <<...

I was trying to follow this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch. i got confused with the part about Create an isolinux.cfg file. The show stopper for me was the mkisofs because the closest command I had available was xorrisofs and I think a switch was different.

...quot; for removable media too; another source of confusion from the long UEFI Specs). As I mentioned before, the fact that some firmware is capable of accepting / reading / using different features than what the UEFI Specs state can be either a pro or a con.

...o as to make them bootable from USB by default. However, it's likely to make things slightly more difficult in terms of producing the images themselves: we want to make them available via jigdo as well as via full download of the .iso files directly, so doing post-processing of the images after genisoimage is finished is less than ideal for us. However, as I'm one of the people with commit rights to cdrkit / genisoimage I could probably add support for creating isohybrid-style images directly inside genisoimage. Does that sound like a sensible / reasonable / useful thing to do? Cheers, -- Ste...

Hi, (My apologies to Geert Stappers for the inappropriate branch which i grafted on his thread today. It still grows. But i do my share to dry it out by replying to a message in the correct thread. :)) Dean Graff wrote: > But I really want to push xorriso to its limits.

Nitpicking: Consider whether to use -r instead of -R, i.e. whether to make up ownership and permissions for publishing, or whether to preserve the ownership and permission as in ISO_root. The latter (-R) is more suitable for backup purposes, or if you have reason to have multiple
