We will have the fact that the installer booted from other thing than isolinux, so specific options can be passed to avoid user intervention. We have the fact that a different partition table is used that can make the difference, though I prefer the first method (simpler). > > make two sets of iso's, one for pc and one for xbox? 694 mb iso can't be dual > > fs on 700 mb cdr can it? > > I really don't like the idea of two sets of ISOs, with 99% of all data identical > on both sets. How much space will UDF take up? It will be hard to make another iso anyway, more test would be necessary and more bug can arrive from a less tested iso. Furthermore more costly to do. Fran�ois.
