Hi
does anyone know how to create a bootable CD which includes an info file? linuxrc is supposed to look in the root directory of the initrd, but I can't figure out how to get it into the initrd and then rebuild the CD.
I've tried the instructions at
http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mr349/suse/boot.html
after having modified the boot/loader/initrd file but I get an isolinux checksum error when I boot the CD.
All I have to show is about 15 unusable CDs!
any help would be appreciated
You want to do something similar to this: ############################### cd boot/loader zcat initrd > /tmp/INITRD mkdir /mnt/loop mount -o loop /tmp/INITRD /mnt/loop cp info.file /mnt/loop umount /mnt/loop gzip -9c /tmp/INITRD > initrd ############################### SAMPLE ISOLINUX.CFG Entry: label useinfofile kernel linux append initrd=initrd acpi=oldboot ramdisk_size=65536 info=file:/info.file HTH.HAND. -- Jean L.
