Description (last modified by pygi) (diff)

Complete El-Torito support within libisofs would be very nice and useful. We want it with emulation and without emulation.

We would need some system boot expert to advise us, some El-Torito specs to be read, an implementor who does a first sketch, and volunteers who test booting, as it seems.

I have some idea how to implement basic El-Torito support (without multiple boot entries). There is El-Torito spec published by IBM here: http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/98D3219C-9CC9-4DF5-B496-A286D893E36A/0/specscdrom.pdf#search=%22el-torito%20specification%22
