Sorry if this is a total noob question... I've searched the archives and
haven't turned up much. Not turning up much on the web in general, either.
I'm working on a project and I'd like to create a Linux bootable ISO disc
with an extra chunk of data **outside** the ISO space. This chunk of data
might be a 10MB tar/zip. The goal would be to boot into Linux in RAM off
the disc and mount the extra chunk of data to access it. Is this a hybrid
ISO? I'm not asking for the command line recipe, but maybe a "yes, this is
simple, use xorriso and check out feature XXXX" would be helpful.
I need this because I want the Linux ISO to be constant and verifiable with
an SHA hash... the extra stuff will vary from customer to customer.
Thanks!
Bret
