Hi,

Anyone know ways to extract the CD boot loaders under Linux?

The reason that I'm asking is that, many .iso files come with size much
less than 700M. So it would be a waste of CD spaces to burn them as-is --
I want to add more files to them (then pack them up again as iso) before
burning them. So the most important step is to extract the CD boot
loaders (mainly for Windows based bootable .iso images), so as to make it
bootable again.

Thanks


isomaster is one possibility, that works quite well (see tools menu).

aptitude show isomaster
Package: isomaster
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1.3.5-1

Uncompressed Size: 1069k
Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libc6 (>= 2.7), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4),
libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1),

You can use isomaster to:
* add files to an image
* extract files from an image
* delete files from an image

Command line tool try "man geteltorito". I haven't tried this one (it's
part of the genisoimage package).
