Hi, Fred.
Yes; it seems you were right. 'Twas the addition of
isolinux from Xenial64's repo that did the trick.

Thank you.
It's a 'biggie', at 556 MB......but I told you I'd added a lot of stuff. Openshot, VLC, the GIMP, xvidcap, recordmydesktop, libreoffice.....to name but a few. Plus several of your additional 'dog' packages as well.
And Google Chrome, of course.
Doubtless I shall modify it further as I go along, but it'll be nice to start off with what I consider to be the multimedia 'essentials'.....Openshot in particular. (Which I gave its first really serious 'run' today; joined 2 webm videos together, changed output types and format, and transcoded and exported as a single .mp4 video. Worked perfectly, too!)
It's probably the hardest the dual-core Athlon64 has ever worked; flat-out, 98-99% CPU usage for well over an hour. (And
still didn't break through the 60C mark.) There again, I wouldn't like to say; I 'inherited' the Compaq desktop from my sister 4 years ago. The single-core Athlon it came with had had a very gentle life.....all she ever used to do was play 'The Sims'. This X2, I picked up on eBay for around £7 GBP.....but it was in pristine condition. Never given me any trouble, either.
You're right, though; I didn't really want to have to do it all over again. I had around a dozen 'false starts' before I finally got everything right.....but, like I said, your scripts worked perfectly.
Thanks for the tip about 'isolinux'..!
Cheers.
Mike.
EDIT:- One query, if I may? Since this was 'built' on an ext4 file-system, will it need an ext4 partition to run from.....or will it work from ext3? And would it run from a sub-directory?
