mmh.. yes, i suspected it could be done with el Torito,
but i find it a bit confusing (what is the boot.catalog file?).
i think it'd be nice if iso images with el Torito floppy emulation
were provided.

well if someone tells me where do i get the boot.catalog file from,
it's okay for me. but providing isos would be better anyway.

thanks!
