Hi all.

I'm trying to build a custom install CD, but I just can't get the resulting 
disk to boot.  I want to be able to put a disk in a system, boot the system 
and come back to a fully configured machine.

This is what I'm doing:
I'm using k3b to build an image file from the original install media.

Then I'm using kiso to extract the files from the image into a directory.  In 
hind sight, I guess I could have simply copied the files, but what can I say?

Then I'm making the changes to the files that I need to make.

I use kiso to package the resulting files into an iso image which I burn with 
k3b.  Before burning, I use kiso to add a boot image to the iso.

The resulting CD won't boot.  I'm getting my isolinux.bin file from 
http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php and renaming it to isolinux.img so that ;
kiso will recognize it.  I'm sure this is where I'm messed up, so what is the 
RIGHT way to do this?

TIA,

Mike.
