This is dead simple and works well. Altho Pascal seems to indicate it can be done as user. For me that wouldn't work, but as root 'mkrescue --iso' created a bootable image named "rescue.iso" (3.2 mb)in the directory I ran the command from. I burned it with 'biso rescue.iso' (alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=12 dev=0,0,0 -dao') tom # rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/mkrescue lilo-22.5.7.2-6mdk Besides being a boot CD for your currently running kernel, it also provides some rescue options when you boot from it (similar to booting the 1st Mandrake CD). ........................................... create a Boot Disk From: Pascal Cavy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "[snoyes]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Le Dimanche 9 Novembre 2003 17:51, [snoyes] a écrit : For those interested, you can make an iso image of a boot disk if you are using LILO with the following command: /sbin/mkrescue --iso then just cdrecord it ........................................... -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
