Dear suse-autoinstall people,

We have machines without floppies and we want to use an /info file.

I understand I can make one and put it in the /initrd on the boot CD. I
can probably manage this using the mkinitrd scripts etc, but how would I
then create a boot CD ISO image?

I am hoping there is a magic mkisofs command line that will fetch what
I need out of the boot/loader directory of the SuSE 9.3 distribution and
make me a new boot CD.

Can anyone point me at more info?

Thanks
Ian
