Re: [Live-demo] ISO not isohybrid, lacks UEFI support

2016-12-06 Thread Ben Caradoc-Davies 

Brian,

this fix simply added a new argument to genisoimage (mkisofs), plus an 
isohybrid step. My concern was that there are some distributions of 
genisoimage with good UEFI support (-e option) and some without; even my 
Debian unstable machine lacks this option. Testing confirmed that the 
Ubuntu/Lubuntu 16.04.1 version of genisoimage is a good one so I stuck 
with the tool in use.


I have seen other projects using xorriso to make isohybrid ISO images 
with UEFI support (for example Debian live-wrapper) so I knew we had a 
another option. xorriso seems to be under much more active development 
than any of the genisoimage forks. One xorriso developer helped a 
project using xorriso before even being asked, so in my view, support is 
great.


Kind regards,
Ben.

Sounds promising Ben.

Looks like size won't be an issue with what you are proposing.

I'd be interested to hear if Brian has any comments. Brian has burned a 
lot of USBs for prior conferences and might have some feedback on things 
to look out for.
