And if he has such problems, the size of the medium is not one of these : he
simply needs to use something else ;)
BTW, I had a look to the El Torito specifications, and if the floppy
emulation is defined (720 Kb, 1.20, 1.44, 2.88), there is also "hard disk"
and "no emulation" (like a hard disk but does not mask 0x80 one). So just to
say that, if we can use more than 1.44, we will not be forced to make
something special for El torito CDs : we shall be able to reuse the same
image.
