I would recommend: locate eltorito /usr/share/doc/packages/mkisofs/README.eltorito and reading: less /usr/share/doc/packages/mkisofs/README.eltorito "eltorito" is the bootable file system on ISO-CD Images. Basically you dd a bootfloppy and give this image to mkisofs by a commandline parameter. > couldn't get a straight answer from man pages... Tried, but couldn't get a > success... ( -b option ) I also want to create windows bootable cds. What do you mean by windows bootable? Should it be a self contained bootable CD or do you plan to use stuff on a Win-HD? > But they keep on asking me how to create bootable cds with bootable > floppies in their hands.. Read mksiofs man page along with the README'*s coming along with the cdrtools. K.-H. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
