Does this image boot successfully?
I don't know yet because I've used all my cd-r's :-(.
Within a few days I'm expecting some new cd-rw's and I'll let you know how
things went.
If you compare your ISO with the original one, file sizes
should be the same for all files; are they? A reason could
be that the original one contains some "metadata" that the
creating program (which will very probably _not_ be mkisofs
as you're using) may have stored there. Things like for
example an application ID, copyright information, media
name. Maybe the original program did use a different
"mechanism" to create the ISO?
You can easily add the file sizes inside the original
ISO and compare them to your sources (which should be
equal) and see where the difference comes from. I think
it will be some file system metadata (remember that the
ISO-9660 file system occupies "invisible" space within
the ISO file).
I compared the original iso from Intel with the one generated by me and I
really can't see any differences. My generated one is 9MB, and 8 MB of
metadata seems a lot to me, or isn't it?. Don't know how Intel makes his
iso's.
