Package: bootcd
Version: 4.04
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
As reported on the IsoLinux wiki page: 
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems , Ver. 5.00 and higher 
of such package introduce an additional dependence on an extra "ldlinux.???" 
file which depends on the booting method in use. For classic BIOS booting, this 
would be "/usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/ldlinux.c32" which also needs to be 
copied.

The attached patch provides the required modification for the 
"/usr/bin/bootcdwrite" script. Outcome may be tested via QEMU through the 
command line:
~# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot c -cdrom /var/spool/bootcd/cdimage.iso

and specifying "sr0" at the isolinux "boot:" prompt, when asked "To select a 
cdrom, specify  "hda" ..."

Thanks,
--
Alberto.
