Thanks Chris!

So I just created another fresh image with the options above:
mkisofs -A "FC/1.91 i386" -V "FC/1.91 i386" -J -R -v -T -x ./lost+found -o /home/cap/FC2test2-CD1_ori.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .

...and it boots...

The size of this image is about 6kb less than of the previous fresh image,
but still about 15megs bigger than the original image.
Since the options of mkisofs are the same now, what else could lead to
a different image size ??? *clueless*

Cheers,
Hannes.
