I have been working with this myself. I am doing this on a linux system,
so I am not sure if it can be done under windows - perhaps with cygwin?
This is they way I have been doing it, if there is an easier way, feel
free to point it out.
The funny thing about it is that you do not need to edit ElTorito.288.bin
at all, just create one based on your customizations.
easiest way I have found is to copy the directory created when
running unpack.s to /rb
in /rb create mkElTorito (source below) This was taken from the mailing
list archives, but I cannot seem to find the exact message. Perhaps Tom
can put this script in the add-ons?
Now, go though and make all of your customizations in the /rb directory,
when you are done, invoke ./mkElTorito - this will handle the creation
of a new ElTorito.288.bin based on your customizations.
You can then use mkisofs and cdrecord to burn the cd
Cordially,
George
