One way is bblcd: http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/ You have to prepare a master distribution on another partition, configure it until you are satisfied and then let bblcd create a bootable cd from the master installation... ;-) -- Greetings, Tobias PGP/GnuPG Key ID 0xAE034AAD (preferred) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

With bootcdwrite you create a chroot directory (or partition) with everything you want on the cd, and it does the rest. If your normal system is small enough (telling bootcdwrite which parts to skip), you could use it instead. On the other hand, an easier method (if you only need reiserfs support), it probably would be even easier to download an install CD from some distribution (I don't know if debian has one supporting reiserfs) and boot from that. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

One way is bblcd: http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/ cool! that worked! i found my main problem though, my kernel didn't have ramdisk or initrd support which is why it was failing. but after a while i got a working system up. and was able to repair the partition(turns out it was ext2 afterall..) and the laptop is once again running! now for a backup:) thanks!! that program will be very useful i plan to make a bunch of bootable cds for servers now that i know how nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
