That's why i summarized the results of our wiggling and fitting with Ubuntu ISO development. > symlinks [...] will of course not translate to FAT [...] Duh. I forgot that aspect in my summary. So its proposal part should be: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Both approaches are combinable: - Have all EFI equipment as directory tree in the ISO filesystem. I.e. not only as image file or as appended partition. - Make sure that the installation works without name conflicts from a filesystem with sloppy naming rules and without symbolic links. I.e. from FAT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As Pete pointed out in the Ubuntu discussions, name length is not restricted to 8.3. Nevertheless very long package names can cause truncation which might become a problem if two names get truncated to the same text, or if truncation implies mangling to avoid such collisions. Have a nice day :) Thomas
