[syslinux] [PATCH] isohybrid: user options

I cannot see any special advantage in 16 blocks
offset. It would endanger mountablility as much
as any other offset.

There are image block addresses stored in the
MBR and in the boot image. Which address space
is in effect when those addresses are interpreted ?

It appears possible to layout an ISO image that
can be used from both addresses:
Two superblocks, two directory trees, two
boot images. Offset must be at least 64 kB.

I am optimistic that this could be done if
a real necessity emerges. But the effort will
not be small.


Have a nice day :)
