Hi,
i remember of extracting a boot.bin file containing the boot information of an ISO file using the command "eltorito <some options> boot.bin" or something. Could you please tell me with package privides this in arch? i think i ve used the above command on on a debian based distro..
Thank you very much.

After some googling I've found http://freecode.com/projects/geteltorito but it hasn't been updated in a while and I don't think it's available in Arch.
If the application works, you can ask someone to help you with the PKGBUILD, if you want.
=== Edit ===
http://www.debianadmin.com/genisoimage- … mages.html says it's part of genisoimage package, but there's no such package in Arch. 'genisoimage' command is a part of cdrkit and cdrtools packages, but there's no mention of either 'eltorito' or 'geteltorito'.

Maybe look into how archiso does it? For example, use Ctrl+F to search for ".bin" on this page a few times. It mentions:
xorriso -as mkisofs ${_qflag} \
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
...
-isohybrid-mbr ${work_dir}/iso/isolinux/isohdpfx.bin \
And pkgfile says that xorriso belongs to:
$ pkgfile xorriso
extra/libisoburn

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Thank you very much for your replies.
Karol's link did the trick. it was that perl script that i was looking for and still works like a charm.
If needed or anyone thinks its useful iam willing to submit it on AUR.
