Here are instructions for a method I use, which I find easy. You can put your whole home directory on the cd if you have room. Go to: http://freshmeat.net/projects/mkcdrec/ and download mkCDrec_v0.6.0.tar.gz then follow these additional instructions. 1. Untar the package and cd to the mkcdrec directory. 2. mkdir 'utilities' 3. copy the entire /usr/lib/perl5 directory to mkcdrec/utilities/perl5 4. Edit the Config.sh at(or near) line 325 where a section called 'Links=' is started. Add a link like this: /usr/lib=perl5=/cdrom/utilities/perl5 5. You can copy as many of your utilities as you want to this utilities directory, and make links. However, it is easier to do the next step. 6. Goto Config.sh around the line where the section called 'Binaries=' begins. Just add entries there, like: perl perldoc mycoolscript.pl etc etc. This ends the perl part of the setup. 7. Goto the begiining of Config.sh and edit each entry to suit your system. For certain, specify LINUX_KERNEL that you wish to use. Like:'/boot/vmlinuz.suse-2.4.4-4GB' BURNCDR=y SCSIDEVICE='0,1,0' ( or whatever you use for your system ) (cdrecord -scanbus will tell you) etc, etc,etc Don't ignore the line for DEVFS=0 , the cd won't boot if you set this wrong. Set it to 1 only if your kernel supports it. 8. Finally do a 'make test' to see how your Config.sh looks. If all is well, do a 'make'; select option 1 (Rescue CD), and your cd will be made. 9. Boot it, and start mc, I'm sure you can take it from there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
