I assume that does not mean isohybrid of 3.72
is still suitable for flawless MBR generation.
At least i would need the newer MBR code for
libisofs. That'll impose a license problem.

So on the risk to be annoying i repeat my
proposal to make isohybrid ready for my
use case of synthetic MBR production
without the need to see an ISO image.

If an option
  -piped  $ibsig  $de_lba  $imgsize
is regarded to be ugly, then how about
  -signature $ibsig
  -lba       $de_lba
  -imgsize   $imgsize

I would then give up the implementation of
isohybrid in libisofs and rather call the
original script at image generation time.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
