Hi,
while studying isohybrid.bin of 3.81-pre10
i wonder whether isohybrid 3.72 and 3.81 are
crosswise compatible with the isolinux boot
images of 3.72 and 3.81.
I.e would this be technically ok in both
isohybrid scripts ?
if ($ibsig ne "\xf7\xe3\xef\x0d"
&& $ibsig ne "\xfb\xc0\x78\x70") {
die ...
}
A "yes" would be very convenient to me:
- libisofs would immediately be able to
create an MBR for a 3.81 image.
- the future libisofs MBR generator with
user options would be able to support
the older boot images of 3.72 to 3.80.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
