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!

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. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
