..looks like these are set up the same way as the Sid/Ceres ones, my
diff is also 222 lines.

..one good thing about distractions is they buys me time to have other
people find out things for me. ;o)

..mounting it after dd'ing it, I see isolinux and boot/grub, but also
boot/grub/efiboot.img and efi/boot/bootx64.efi, and my box didn't
like Qubes-R3.2's way to "efi-boot", next boot to grub took an hour.

..your iso boots directly into isolinux or grub without messing up my
"efi stuffed bios"?
