Hey Joey, That itself is a minor pain, but not enough to make me complain about a useful feature. The *more* difficult thing is trying to make iso-hybrid work with jigdo: we make the .iso and .jigdo files directly in the same invocation of genisoimage, so anything we do to post-process the .iso files won't show up in the .jigdo equivalents. :-( I've been trying to find time for ages to either: (a) add iso-hybrid support directly into genisoimage, or (b) port the jigdo code from genisoimage to xorriso, which is the long-term plan. xorriso already includes the needed iso-hybrid support, but it'll take quite a lot of work to add jigdo code there. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb." -- Steven M.
