I have to sadly reckon that I have only created a bootable CD, and it was in windows. I only had to create a boot floppy, tell nero to use it, and voilá! I'll have a look at what xcdroast has to offer, but I still do not know how to make a bootable CD, one as good as the SuSE rescue system, but customized to my likings.
I have been making customized bootable cd's with mkcdrec. http://mkcdrec.ota.be It is a bash script which allows you to make a bootable cd using isolinux. It puts your current kernel and modules in so it boots, your system just fine. Perfect for rescue cds. If you closely examine the Config.sh, there is a section where you can put different programs in the utilities directory, and link them to the ramdisk. I have used this to make a bootable cd with my whole perl5 libs on it, and mc. In the past, I have used it to make a usable system on cd, with dialout, lynx, pine, etc. The biggest problem is to link the so libs in to the system running in the ramdisk. You can set the ram disk size. If you want more ideas on it, email me off list. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
