Google for "El Torito Bootable CD" i don't think that's what he wants to do. what he wants to do is, for instance, put a debian bootable CD installler in his cd drive, reboot, and then, at the grub prompt, be able to choose "CD" and then it'll boot the debian installer and he can continue to install debian. ahm, on the other hand, it looks like lilo has the same problem grub has. http://freshmeat.net/projects/lilo/ and search for CD. read the thread with the subject of Boot CD with lilo in MBR. the reply says to write an el torito bootable CD, as you say. the problem with this is, the installer CD he's using might not use the El Torito "format". e.g., what if he wants to run the XP installer? is that el torito (sorry,can't test, don't want to reboot :). ah, cj, is this sort of what you want? to boot from a windows installer, for example? or some other linux installers? or are you interesting in making your own boot CDs and booting from those? tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Mene sakhet ur-seveh -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
