Hi List,
can someone please give me a pointer to a how-to to generate a live CD? I am not interested in just using the live CDs that are out there, i.e., SuSE's or knoppix or others. Rather I'd like to make my own, or preferably start with SuSE's live CD and modify it to add some software of my own to it.
What happens, if you create an iso file of the CD, mount it read & write, make your changes and then save and write the iso to a new CD?
It's actually not that easy. I already did that and found a cloop image which I was able to mount and take a look at. There seem to be several layers of things that need to be done. I think I have to first find out how to alter the contents in the cloop image, then how to generate the cloop image afterwards, then how to bypass the md5 checksum procedure and finally make a bootable CD image out of it again. Best regards, Alex.
