Just wondering how to create a bootable iso file from a bootable cd..? Not as simple as using mkisofs -o output.iso . ? I am trying to create a bootable iso file from a bootable CD, to install an OS in VMWare..
It depends on the OS you are going to install. Windows: google for "cdimage.exe" or "cdimagegui.exe". DOS: download one of the many available floppy images on the interwebs. Linux: you need isolinux To create an image, create a directory called "isolinux" underneath the root directory of your ISO image master file tree. Copy isolinux.bin, a config file called "isolinux.cfg", and all necessary files (kernels, initrd, display files, etc.) into this directory, then use the following command to create your ISO image: mkisofs -o output.iso \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ root-of-iso-tree -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
