The chroot thing is a one-time deal to build a root image on the HDD. The
part you're missing is I'm running LRP WITHOUT a ramdisk, more like
conventional linux...hopefully I won't be burned at the stake.
A Now I understand. Jeff was so gentle about it
The key to making this happen is getting a linuxrc that's smart (or
flexible) enough to deal with whatever is required. The other missing
piece
is a way to communicate with the CD-ROM boot scripts.
That would be syslinux.cfg; what is needed (sounds like) is a way to

This wouldn't be the "proconfig" patch would it? With this patch, you
can type "cat /proc/config" and it will give you a list of features
set, in the form of a Config file for the running kernel.
Fairly neat, if not much

using the CDROM as a data disk. Your ideas are much more
revolutionary than mine.
Actually, I want both to work. My CD-ROM

Well, I'm working on documenting how to run LRP 2.9.8 with root on a HDD,
and it got me thinking about my CD booting images. One of the main things I
can't change on the CD is the size of the ramdisk, since that's a kernel
parameter, and I can't change kernel paramaters on a bootable CD without
