Not really (learning to use xorriso is on my to-do list) but the Debian images have the command used for their creation in the mkisofs file in .disk. You could also try the isohybrid command, which comes with the syslinux package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
