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?
in the suse admin guide there is a section on how to do what you want. My version is found in /usr/share/docs/adminguide.

Hi Richard, thanks for sharing. You are probably referring to the "create boot cds" section (chapter 7.7) in the admin guide, which by the way is located at /usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-adminguide_en/html on my system and best accessed through the susehelp system. My understanding of the procedure described there is that this will just make a boot cd that will eventually bring up the system that is already installed on your hard drive, and *not* a liveCD, i.e., not what I want. If I didn't get your point or you have other info that I missed, please, let me know. Best regards, Alex.
