Can you identify any code at all from libisofs which is embedded in the images? I'm honestly not aware of any. I've been using upstream versions of xorriso on-and-off over the last few years, accepting assistance from the (very helpful!) upstream author Thomas Schmitt when trying to debug thorny issues like hybrid BIOS/UEFI booting. The exact behaviour that we've worked out in some cases has needed upstream tweaks, and we've needed those tweaks from time to time in what we've released. >Do we have any Policy on installer images?

That would be a serious bug IMHO - please raise any as you find them. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Because heaters aren't purple!" -- Catherine Pitt
