(I'd like to support both. But GRUB2 is of course first goal.) Well, i see the same options as with ISOLINUX. So this gesture should already be possible by xorriso: xorriso -as mkisofs ...above.options... Is there by chance a resulting image available which i could test and examine ? (The smaller the better. Booting up to a GRUB menu would suffice.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
