boot image for gnoppix

[Aman]

i have customized gnopopix and created CREDATIV file using mkisofs. Now to make final iso image i dono tknow the boot image?

boot.cat is in isolinux dir, but boot.img is where?

You don't need a boot.img when using isolinux. Place all the files in boot.img into /isolinux or /boot/isolinux and add the file isolinux.bin from syslinux. This will enable you to have a "boot disc" larger than 1.44 or 2.88 MiB.

   mkisofs -o output.iso \
       -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
       -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
       root-of-iso-tree

when i try the command it does not boot after making final cd, says CREDATIV file system not found

mkisofs give following output
mkisofs -o /root/my1.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isol inux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /root/gnoppix

Hi,

These name problems seem to be problems with the ISO9660 standard

You might consider using the flag '-l' or '-iso-level2' for mkisofs (I ran into problems with the 2nd one) so it does not care about the ISO9660; this way, the filenames are only limited to 31 characters, as far as I can remember. (Please tell me, if I'm wrong)

i tried -iso-level 2 option with mkisofs, but it is still renaming /CREDATIV to CREDATIV000. please help
