hello H. Peter Anvin or one of best friend's ;'] , i like your software very much , i use it for some times now when i remaster some live cdrom . these days i am making a new one for servers l4d and l4d2 . i try to make one that have a squashfs file that is bigger than 4 Go . because of that i can not use fat32 with usb so i wonder if soon you will mkake a new release being able to use NTFS or the new EFAT ? i also used ultraiso to convert my iso to udf so i can write it on a bluray disc , it started to boot and told me that the files were not found , did i made a mistake ? the syslinux i use is the 3.83 . my problem of the 4 Go max file can be solved , may be you can also help me if you know a tutorial that explains how i can mount and copy to ram two squashfs ? i mean i can buid two files or even three but i have no idea where i should edit to have them loaded at boot and mounted , like it does with one . the distro i use ise grml64-small , that explain the name of the mailbox ;'] have a nice day , thank you in advance

Because you want to boot linux, it can't be a problem to create/use ext2/3/4 partitions.> i also used ultraiso to convert my iso to udf so i can write it on a > bluray > disc , it started to boot and told me that the files were not found , did > i > made a mistake ?Never use a ISO editor to edit bootable iso's. Always remaster this iso with mkisofs and the -boot-info-table switch if the iso uses ISOLINUX. The -boot-info-table switch patches some bytes in the bootsector of the CD, which are originally the first 2048 bytes of isolinux.bin. This patched bytes tell the boot sector where the rest of isolinux.bin is located. If your ISO editor moves the isolinux.bin file, the location in the boot sector still points to the same location as before, but this location doesn't contain the isolinux.bin file anymore. http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX#How_Can_I_Make_a_Bootable_CD_With_ISOLINUX.3F - Gert Hulselmans
Hi,> i also used ultraiso to convert my iso to udf so i can write it on a bluray > disc ,It is well permissible to write an ISO 9660 filesystem to Blu-ray media. Eventual restrictions of filesystem type apply to applications (like video) but not to the media.> it started to boot and told me that the files were not foundSo your BIOS is willing to boot from the media. Burn the unaltered ISO to media and try to boot that.> squashfs file that is bigger than 4 Go . > because of that i can not use fat32 with usb so i wonder if soon you will > mkake a new release being able to use NTFS or the new EFAT ? > [...] > the syslinux i use is the 3.83Try to treat the ISO image with script isohybrid, to copy it to USB pen drive, and to boot from there. (I have a 6 year old computer which does not boot hybrid ISOs from USB stick. Younger ones do fine.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
