Brian,

this fix simply added a new argument to genisoimage (mkisofs), plus an isohybrid step. My concern was that there are some distributions of genisoimage with good UEFI support (-e option) and some without; even my Debian unstable machine lacks this option. Testing confirmed that the Ubuntu/Lubuntu 16.04.1 version of genisoimage is a good one so I stuck with the tool in use.

I have seen other projects using xorriso to make isohybrid ISO images with UEFI support (for example Debian live-wrapper) so I knew we had a another option. xorriso seems to be under much more active development than any of the genisoimage forks. One xorriso developer helped a project using xorriso before even being asked, so in my view, support is great.

Kind regards,
Ben.
