Subject: GRUB 2 and eltorito boot (no emul)

Hi,
    I asked something in the past but got no answer, I'm going to try a 
different approach.

    Suppose I wanted to implement eltorito boot (as for mkiso -b 
iso/boot/eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table) for 
GRUB 2. What do you think would be the best approach? I took a look at 
GRUB Legacy's eltorito_start and it doesn't think neither too 
complicated nor too different to boot.S from GRUB 2, give or take a table.

    What I mean, is, what do you think I should do in order to implement 
it in such a way that I don't trash all sources?

    Also, if you think I should not need eltorito for making bootable 
ISOs I'd love to know how to do it (I need to boot with a 700KB kernel 
and a 20/25 MB module (gziped to 10MB)

    thanks
    gera

PS: My original question was regarding VBE and eltorito, my solution was 
to implement some extra vbe support for GRUB Legacy, mainly because I 
needed eltorito, and GRUB 2 doesn't have it...
