Usually, boot.cat goes in the same directory as boot.image. Don't know if it is a requirement ro not. If you want to read the CD with long filenames under that _other_ OS, use the -R option also.It won't hurt anything.

[Cooker] building a bootable Mandrake CDROM - which image file for booting?
I've copied the whole Mandrake 7.0 CDROM tree from CD to an ext2 partition. I can boot from the ext2 partition via a floppy with the 'hd.img' image written to it. However, I can't figure out which IMG file I need for the CD. # cd /mnt/scratch <-- where the CD filesystem tree was copied to # mkisofs -b images/txt_boot.img \<--- the IMG file -c boot.cat -o /tmp/mandrake.iso \ -J -r -T \ -p LinuxMandrake \ -P www.mandrakesoft.com \ -A Linux_Mandrake_7.0_GPL_version \ -V LM70GPL \ . I can boot from a "CD floppy" (# dd if=cd.img of=/dev/fd0) onto the CD, so I'm convinced the filesystem is okay. However, it won't boot if I use the cdrom.img file. It _will_ boot if I use txt_boot.img but that image doesn't trigger the graphical install routine, which is the routine I need to use. Any ideas? :) All suggestions are appreciated. Hugo
