Hi Marc...:)

Just build your kernel and do a make release... just takes a little time
then run the script /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh
--- READ the info about this in the shell script so you
build what you want and you can even set up drives to be mounted
... YOU can build a bootable CD with your custom kernel...
Then burn this iso image file to a CD and it will boot your kernel...
everytime...

Simple way to build boot disks?

2003-01-22 Thread Marc G. Fournier

G'day ...

  I'm having a bugger of a time getting my laptop with a third-party
ethernet adapter installed with 5.0, since it won't properly configure the
adapter ...

  what I'd like to do is build a custom boot kernel, that gets rid of
everything but what I require for that laptop, so that the onboard doesn't
conflict with the 3rd party one ...

  all I can find so far on how to do this is to go through the whole 'make
release' procedure ... is there an easier way of doing this that I'm not
finding?

thanks ...
