Am I mounting it wrong. If all you have done is modify the *.msg files, there should be no need to run syslinux. When creating bootable images, I generally format the disk (must be a dos file system) then run syslinux, then add the remaining files. Here is a snip from a script I use to create a boot disk: mformat a: || { echo "Error formatting the floppy disk, exiting." exit } echo "Running syslinux." syslinux -s /dev/fd0 || { echo "Error running syslinux, exiting." exit } echo "Copying files." mcopy base_files/syslinux.cfg a: mcopy base_files/boot.msg a: echo "Copying rootfs.gz." mcopy rootfs.gz a: echo "Copying the kernel." mcopy base_files/vmlinuz-rule a:vmlinuz - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjz220AACgkQn/07WoAb/SuXDgCghzIe/eAl++Mthy+VGl0NYl3i z3sAoJ+OFsrcgrRDnj2DxQwMmycHjC0L =V2vV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
