Basically, you're talking of two operations. Your first question refers to the burning proper, which is handled by the program cdrecord. I'm not sure but for something as small as TRB, burning TAO vs. Disk At Once is a matter of your CDRW supporting the feature. TAO should however be fine for burning pure filesystems (as opposed to burning raw CD audio or VCD data or the like). Your second question refers to the CD filesystem creation process, which is handled by the program mkisofs. Since TRB is a floppy image (something you can dump to a floppy disk) and the El Torito standard was devised as a workaround for putting such images onto CDROMs, the floppy boot is the recommended and perhaps only possible option. I don't even know if mkisofs will accept the other options. -- Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
