[syslinux] xorriso or genisoimage syntax assistance

Nitpicking:

Consider whether to use -r instead of -R, i.e. whether to
make up ownership and permissions for publishing, or whether
to preserve the ownership and permission as in ISO_root.
The latter (-R) is more suitable for backup purposes, or if
you have reason to have multiple owners and/or finely
structured access permissions.

Mention that virtual machines can test the .iso file as
virtual CD-ROM, and that it can be burnt onto CD/DVD/BD
so that BIOS boots it from such media.


> # Xorrisos special .iso allows other partitions to be made:

I would prefer a statement that -partition_offset 16
creates a partition table which parted is willing to edit.

Indeed, the emerging .iso is quite special:

But the refusal of parted with less special images is probably
not to expect from all other partition editors.


Have a nice day :)
