Mailing List Archive: ISOLINUX: Updating ISOLINUX.CFG Q

I have a non-bug related question, which has been giving me fits
for a while. Can ISOLINUX.CFG be updated on a multi-session disc ?
It seems not, as I make m/s CDs all the time and can change every
other file on the disc, exc ISOLINUX.CFG. My best guess at this point
is that ISOLINUX.BIN can't access secondary sessions on the disc, pos
related to the boot-info-table patch. Whether b-i-t affects things or
not, does this hypothesis make sense to anyone else ? Thanx....

In theory, it should work, however, you might have to update
isolinux.bin as well.

This WILL NOT WORK if you don't have proper boot-info-table support!
The fallback mode for non-mkisofs mastering software assumes
single-session support.

Of course, this also assumes that the firmware will actually follow the
El Torito spec and boot from the newest session. Good luck.
