I like to use a gui myself thats why my original post mentioned gcombust. So just unchecking the -padding -swab audio and -ignore size keeping -dao should allow me to burn a bootable cdrom. Does this mean that I don't have to check eltorrito selection and specify a boot image and catalog file (whatever that is) on the options tab of gcombust? Thanks, Terry
