Hi all.
I'm re-posting this since I'm still spinning my wheels trying to get it to work.
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.
Does it have to be a CD, or would you be able to work with a DVD instead? A DVD would be much more in keeping with the "insert disc, walk away, come back to fully working system" desire so, if you can use a DVD, check out makeSUSEdvd. <Snip>
After saving the new .iso file, I burn with it with k3b.
The resulting CD won't boot.
My guess would be that kiso doesn't know how to recreate the necessary bits to make the resultant image bootable.
Now, when I burn the iso image without making any changes, that CD will boot. But as soon as I make a change, to control.xml for example, the resulting CD won't boot.
It certainly looks like kiso can't recreate a bootable image.
Any ideas?
Extract the contents of the CD to a directory on your hard drive, make the changes required, then create a bootable CD using the directory as a source. All this can be done with makeSUSEdvd.
