Improving chain.c32 help message
Impact: Error message is more detailed
In case of syntax error, the message is far more detailed and provides
the same content as the documentation integrated in the source code.
You can get this patch from Erwan's git repo:
http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=3fc3126d0c7df5701680e043c34f200166f24564
Add 'isolinux=' option to chain.c32 for chain-loading another isolinux.bin.
It patches the boot info table part of the new loaded isoinux.bin file in memory.
So you don't need the -eltorito-alt-boot option of mkisofs, when you want multiple
versions of isolinux.bin per CD.
Shao Miller wrote most of the code for this patch. Thank you.
You can get those patches from Shao's git repo (chain_isolinux branch):
