I am using mkisofs to create a bootable cd as part of my process. the windows
version (which works on windows, properly...)
I am also confused by the contradiction of what you just said. I need a new
specific large bootable ISO building process which (hopefully) doesn't involve
floppies. I have a boot sector file if I need it for freedos 1.0 from freedos
ripcord.
I think I know how to use mkisofs (with the exception of the bootable disk
image stuff and what format it's supposed to be in).
I think I am going to spend tomorrow re-reading the pdf to see what I can learn
about a cd building process.
are there any VM's out there which use a disk image format which isolinux or
mkisofs likes?
are you saying that an hd iomage should not be bootable if it's isolinux?
