Ish. We used to use mkisofs, then switched to genisoimage (a fork of mkisofs) several years ago. We're now using xorriso, as it's capable of generating the isohybrid images. >I'm not sure how to do this and I can't seem to google anything that >applies to my situation. > >Does anyone have any experience with this? Yes. The debian-cd scripts deliberately add information about the command-line they're using into a file on each image they create. Look at .disk/mkisofs (yes, now badly named I realise!) for the command line. Hopefully that should give you mpst of the help you need. Be aware: to make a working image using xorriso, you'll need a newer version of xorriso than is available in stable or testing. The version in unstable will work, or build your own if you need to run on a stable system. We're currently using a locally-built version 1.0.1 for the official builds, but I'll be updating that soon. If you need more help, please feel free to ask on the debian-cd list. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
