Angelos, my recent changes give me a working isohybrid+UEFI ISO with GeoServer 2.10.0 + NetCDF extension, combined in this new branch for your nightly-building convenience: https://github.com/bencaradocdavies/OSGeoLive/tree/devel I have submitted the individual changes as separate pull

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

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. Cheers, Cameron On 6/12/2016 3:54 PM, Ben

Angelos, I think I have a working solution: https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/142 Not yet tested on physical hardware. The ISO should now work after being written to a raw thumb drive with dd, just like the official Ubuntu and Lubuntu ISO images. All of these boot in QEMU: QEMU test

Cameron, I expect that the additional boot equipment will increase the size of the ISO by a only a small amount. Do we need to add these packages to the final ISO? I will test and report back. Kind regards, Ben. On 04/12/16 22:12, Cameron Shorter wrote: Hi Ben, Your proposal sounds like a
