Personalized searches are getting to be a real sore spot for me; not just mine, but those of people pointing me at Google assuming my searches for the same keywords will get the same results. Particular grating is when someone sends me a link to a search, then the link to what I was looking for, and says something like "first hit". My first *page* didn't even have that link on it. /rant > > SCNR :P shortcircuit:12@serenity~ Fri Sep 23 08:44 AM !501 #1 j0 ?0 $ wtf is scnr SCNR: sorry, could not resist Ah. > > alternatively you could use catalyst: > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/ > > or you just mount the iso, modify it, run mkisofs on it and burn it. > the mkisofs options you are looking for are -b and -c. I knew there was going to be something I wasn't going to know, and it looks like the values passed to -b and -c are it. I don't want to build a CD from scratch (and doing so looks like it would require setting up a fully "generic" box to build). I just want to add two files to an existing ISO. How would I extract boot_catalog and eltorito_boot_image from an existing ISO? -- :wq
