Well, before proposing patches i'd need to see a current
version of the script.

In the candidate which i found, the mkisofs boot options seem
to be provided via stdin:

bootoptions=""
...
while read tag data ; do
        ...
        if [ $tag = BOOT ]; then
                ...
                bootoptions="$data"

So probably i'd need to see the scripts which run Create-ISO,
in order to judge whether xorrisofs can perform the options.
PPC might be a problem, if it needs a HFS filesystem.

Gaining the capability to boot 32-bit or 64-bit x86 from
USB stick, or 64-bit x86 via UEFI, might need a change of
boot loader. I see "legacy" GRUB 0.97 in t2-8.0-minimal-i486.iso.
Did T2 switch to GRUB2 meanwhile ?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever, if Create-ISO uses mkisofs option -q, then this
is a bug and should be changed to -quiet.

Maybe scsijon can test this and provide a patch from his
installation ?
Original mkisofs should then work and not warn of missing
Rock Ridge.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
