Yeah, tried that. Seems nobody knows how to do it. The information I found was to make an ISO with mkisofs with Rockridge extensions and El Torito boot blocks. However, the El Torito needs a boot image (like boot.flp) that is exactly 1.44 megs or 2.88.megs. So, I guess I am confused.... How do I use mkisofs to mark a CD bootable, and not have to write a .flp file to it? Thanks anyway for your input....
