Hi all!

I just made a new iso image from FC2test2-CD1:

cp -a /mnt/cdrom/ /home/cap/fc2/
cd /home/cap/fc2/cdrom
mkisofs -r -T -J -V 'FC2test2-CD1' -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 20 -boot-info-table -l -R -o /home/cap/FC2test2-CD1.iso .

I didn't change anything - not even the isolinux.bin.
The new image is 15megs bigger...

The new image booted just fine and I ended up at the anaconda
welcome screen...
So I assume that the way the original iso image is created is
the reason for the boot problems on some machines (?)

Cheers,
Hannes.
