+1.

I have read Ady's answer to this message, but still: why not just state
clearly in the first document:
"It is not possible to make a CD bootable on UEFI with ISOLINUX".

It wouldn't be costly at all and would save a lot of users a lot of time.

Sorry Ady but I think that requesting from users that they read all the
documentation and all the posts on the mailing list since two or three
years to find their way even in simple use cases is just too much.

So why not just clearly state simple things like that?

Best,
