mmh.. yes, i suspected it could be done with el Torito, but i find it a bit confusing (what is the boot.catalog file?). i think it'd be nice if iso images with el Torito floppy emulation were provided. well if someone tells me where do i get the boot.catalog file from, it's okay for me. but providing isos would be better anyway. thanks! -- -------------------------------------------------- Robert Millan Debian GNU/Hurd user zeratul2 wanadoo es http://getyouriso.dyndns.org/ -------------------------------------------------- GPG ID C8D6942C 237F 8688 C2E5 BC64 E152 97B4 FB28 D41B C8D6 942C -------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
