Hi,

i would like to teach this stunt to libisofs, which already does isohybrid
with MBR.

Some questions:

- Where can i download the resulting image for curious inspection ?

- What exactly are the embedded VFAT and HFS+ images ?
Are they files to be put into the ISO filesystem ?
(I assume so because partition 1 starts at 2K block 0 and has 234496 blocks.
Partition 2 starts at 2K block 41 and has 284 blocks.)
How did you get resp. produce them ?

- Which mkisofs options were used to produce the non-hybrid ISO image ?

- What version of SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX did you use for isohybridization ?
Is the harmless code of 32 byte at MBR start a normal feature of
isohybrid, meanwhile ?
What options did you use with program isohybrid ?
Did you have to configure it especially when building ISOLINUX ?

- If you used an own version of isohybrid:
Can you show me the source code of that program ?

- If the MBR code is not from SYSLINUX:
Is there a chance to get it under a license that allows redistribution
under LGPL ?

- Do you know an URL of public specs for Apple partition maps ?

- libisofs offers an own stunt which could be combinable with yours.
It is about having the MBR partitions starting at 32 kB rather than 0:

Do you see any obstacles to extend this to your partition descriptions
for Apple and in GPT ?
