The backup software I use to backup my system is refusing to create a boot CD for my new 9.3 installation because it says that the combination of the initrd image, kernel, and other support files is greater than the maximum supported by LILO CDROM image of 2880 KB. Is this true, or is this software using some older version of LILO?
Yes, probably true. The 2880 KB figure is the size of a special superfloppy: when booting from a CD the method is to emulate booting off a floppy disk. Search for information on "El Torito", that's the method or standard used. Start here: /usr/share/doc/packages/mkisofs/README.eltorito /usr/share/doc/packages/mkisofs/README.geteltorito I think it is possible to go over that size limit, but perhaps tuning a special lilo file. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDHeaAtTMYHG2NR9URAuZkAJ9NTkLgAaQpQsp00IpDWf36KYBCFACeObZc F18ufHrYGOZZ/f9NC6GlVeU= =pS9t -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
