Hmm mark 2 As far as I can see, now that I'm checking the sorted vs. unsorted images, the boot images are at the start of the ISO image anyway, so no patching is required. I'm assuming that the jigdo generation process mentions things it finds in the order they appear on the disk, so when it consistently starts (before any patching) with something like: Match of `dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/bf2.4/root.bin' at offset 3559424 Match of `dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/compact/root.bin' at offset 5036032 Match of `dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/idepci/root.bin' at offset 6531072 Match of `dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/root.bin' at offset 8019968 Match of `dists/woody/Contents-i386.gz' at offset 9498624 Match of `dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/drivers.tgz' at offset 14710784 ... I'm guessing that means that mkisofs was doing the right thing all along. I think we've misinterpreted Eduard's original query, which on re-reading seems to be implying that there's a problem with Knopix, or there was, or something like that. Has anyone got any evidence this is the case on Debian? (I doubt it, so I've just been wasting my time <sigh>) If not, the answer to Eduard's question is: Just stick the stuff you want at the front in a separate directory (as debian-cd has been doing with its boot$N directories for years), and mention that in addition to the main tree, and it will put the boot stuff first.
