similar to: Bootable ISO with extra data outside the ISO?

Sorry if this is a total noob question... I've searched the archives and haven't turned up much. Not turning up much on the web in general, either. I'm working on a project and I'd like to create a Linux bootable ISO disc with an extra chunk of data **outside** the ISO space. This chunk of data might be a 10MB tar/zip. The goal would be to boot into Linux in RAM off the disc

Hi, > I only have the vaguest > understand of what the flags in the man page of xorrisofs and xorriso are. The options reflect a long tradition of program mkisofs and the winded road of boot firmware entry points in ISO 9660 filesystems.

I see there's a memtest on the Linux discs I've created... would it be possible to put another program in place (a module, perhaps?) that can calculate a hash using a certain algorithm (i.e. SHA512 or similar) to validate and print out the hash of the boot ISO before booting it? The integrity of the ISO is absolutely critical. Thanks, Bret

Hi, we are the developers of an alternative to mkisofs: program xorriso from libburnia-project.org . The current development cycle is about support for creating bootable CDs, DVDs, BDs. So we look for testers and for advise about ISOLINUX specifics. The example from the ISOLINUX wiki is supposed to work if you replace "mkisofs" by "xorriso -as mkisofs". I.e: xorriso -as

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.

Hi, is it possible to convert a bootable raw hdd image including grub (originally created with grml-debootstrap) to a bootable iso somehow? Cheers, adrelanos

Hello List I have a Bootable USB stick that we use to Boot our servers and then install CentOS, PostgreSQL and our SW thru a Kickstart script. It works like a charm but now we are thinking of going Virtual and prepping Virtual CentOS servers under VMware ESXi. However, to have the same "Boot and Install" functionality I see no other solution than Booting a VMware machine from an ISO.

Hi all, Is there some way of syslinux or isolinux providing direct support for boot iso bootable images? I can use syslinux/isolinux to boot different ramdisks and floppy disks images fine on a single CD-ROM disk. But I want to use syslinux/isolinux to boot different bootable iso images from a single CDROM disk. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. New! Give your email a serious boost ...

I would like to create a bootable DVD containing Win7 from an official Microsoft ISO that I have on a CentOS-6.5 box. Is this even possible? If so then how is it done using CentOS? If I must create a Win7 repair disk on a Windows machine then this will be possible, but somewhat logistically challenging. I would much rather just get it done with the tools I have to hand. -- ***

Hello, I am trying to make a usb stick full of utilities. However some of the utilities do not use syslinux, and are iso's. Is there any method available for turning the iso into a bootable drive img to be used with memdisk? -- Dimeneira aka Dime

Hello, I want to modify isolinux.cfg of a given, bootable iso (of Linux CentOs installation) according to my needs. The things is : I copy the contents of that iso to a different directory. I modify the isolinux.cfg according to my needs. Then what? I had of course googled for it. I had tried afterwards: mkisofs -o centos1.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-i But

Thanks for that info, it makes the USB stick bootable. This will make kickstart installations so much easier, especially for systems that don?t have a CD-ROM (we used to have to scrounge for an
