Hi, Could you please CC me I will try to remember. :) But maybe you better subscribe by a mail to 688229-subscr...@bugs.debian.org Is there some way to simulate a burner to find out what happened? libburn would accept burner addresses like stdio:/tmp/my_emulated_drive which would behave

Hi, i read on http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/01/msg00168.html For optical media, I am not really sure: it may use ElTorito or load a file /efi/boot/bootarch.efi from the ISO-9660 or UDF filesystem, so this should be checked. GRUB2 grub-mkrescue can produce (U)EFI bootable ISO 9660
