Re: [Leaf-user] How do you use the bootdisk.bin file???

Hi,   When you start N�ro, select CD-ROM (Boot) in the wizard. Y'll get a tab (Boot) where you can find a group called "Source of boot image file" select "Image File" then browse the filesystem to select the "bootdisk.bin" file   Click the button "New" Now, you can add file to your CD layout and burn it   Regards, Etienne   ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Caughlin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 11:18 PM Subject: [Leaf-user] How do you use the bootdisk.bin file??? Hi folks, I'm trying to understand how to create my own bootable CD and some of you have been kind enough to respond. Charles relied to me by saying:   Create a new CD image using appropriate software...make sure you use the bootdisk.bin disk image to make the CD bootable.  The proper mkisofs command is included in the CD-ROM readme.   I don't understand how to use the bootdisk.bin image with my Nero software to create the CD (I think Nero only recognizes .nrg, .iso, or .cue files...not .bin)??? He goes on to say:   WARNING:  If you need to change root.lrp, the kernel, or any syslinux settings (including root ramdisk size), you'll need to modify the bootdisk.bin floppy-disk image...it's a plain 1.44 Meg disk image, and can be manipulated with all the normal tools (dd, winiamge, rawrite, &c).   What does he mean "modify" the bootdisk.bin image, and why would you want to or need to???   Thank you, Craig
