Thanks KARL , already done.
You said so, it was in README.eltorito
commands are as:
#dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/source_path/boot/boot.img bs=10k count=144
( /boot dir is newly created under source directory, copy your boot.img
underneath ) and;
#mkisofs -o outputfile.iso -b /source_path/boot/boot.img -R -J -V
name /source_path
you can either create bootable iso or pipe this mkisofs portion without
-o option to cdrecord and get the cd as bootable as your floppy..:))
( from your BIOS of course , not from OS ---->this was for u2 KARL &
Bill :)) )
Thanks again
