4.11 How to make bootable CD-ROMs?
Ah! I forgot to look there O:-)
An interesting application for a custom bootable CD is as a virus safe DOS- or Windows-system.
Windows on CD? I thought it wasn't possible, it tries to write to the disk during boot.
It saves you the money for the hard disks (if you have a network and use samba to put the user-data on a file server). The German computer magazine c't has a article about this issue in the issue 11/99, page 206 ( http://www.heise.de/).
Pity... I don't know german, and perhaps I'm too old to learn new languages O:-)
Some details about the bootable RedHat CD-ROM is available from http://members.bellatlantic.net/~smithrod/rhjol-technical.html.
I'll have a look one day :-) I have a bootable CD of a mini-distro, I think it is named LinuxDemo. It even has KDE! The hardware detection part is based on SuSE. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
