HOWTO create ISO that is both BIOS and UEFI bootable
by Andy Stewart
Hi everybody,
I've noticed that the Ubuntu 16.04 ISO is bootable on systems with BIOS
as well as UEFI. From scratch, I've remastered Ubuntu, but my ISO file
is only bootable via BIOS. I'd like to remedy that situation by
figuring out what magic is needed so that my ISO file can be booted
either way.
I have a chroot directory in which my files live. I have scripts that
convert all of that into an ISO file. My guess is that I need a
new/modified incantation of mkisofs plus some additional files for UEFI.
Despite a lot of searching, I've not yet found the info that I need.
If you have definitive information, please let me know.
Thanks!
Andy

Reminder: Meeting Nov. 9th 2017: Location: WPI Student Center Rm 331
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
We've got a meeting, tomorrow night.
Location: WPI Mid Century Rm 331.
Time: 7pm
Subject: 3d Printing FOSS software.
I'll be doing a quick talk about software that I've been using to interface
with my 3d printer.
I *might* bring the printer... I'm currently having some electrical issues
with it... but in either case I can give a quick demo of FreeCAD and Cura.
As usual, there will be snacks and refreshments and then we'll head down to
Tech for pizza.
Thanks,
Tim.

WLUG meeting Nov. 9th 2017! Location: WPI Mid Century Room 331
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Sorry for the short notice! We've got a meeting on Thursday!
Topic: We'll, I'm in the midst of building a 3d printer! I *might* have it
done for Thursday!
I've done a lot of talking lately, but if people are interested, I've
managed "figure" out freecad for the most part.
Is this something people are interested in or does someone else have
something they'd like to talk about.
Location: WPI Mid-Century Room 331
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Thanks,
Tim.
