In my role as curious bystander i follow this advice. Using tracker.debian.org i get to https://sources.debian.org/src/bootcd/6.4/FAQ.backup/ which promises indeed "The bootcdwrite command creates a life-cd with your actual debian system." > your ISO must fit on DVD, CD or BlueRay. Blu-ray is at 100 GB max meanwhile (for the price of your soul). 25 GB is quite cheap. > maybe the ISO can be installed ión an USB-Stick, too, It looks like that. From tracker via codesearch.debian.net i get to https://sources.debian.org/data/main/b/bootcd/6.4/bootcdwrite.lib where i see ia_add "MKISOFS_OPTS=\"-z -R -graft-points -quiet \ -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -eltorito-alt-boot -e EFI/efi.img -no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat\"" MKISOFS_OPTS gets used with xorriso -as mkisofs . They are much like in debian-cd, i.e. suitable for booting from optical media and from disk-like devices: USB stick, hard disk, SSD, memory card. The options target boot firmware of both, legacy BIOS and EFI. Have a nice day :) Thomas
