I was going to use the nfs mount to make a binary image via mkisofs so I can
burn the CD from a different machine (NT). I heard mention earlier not to use
EasyCD for this, but no explanation why. I don't have access to a burner on
Linux/UNIX, and the tech support for EasyCD said mkisofs would create a useable
binary image to burn a cd with Rock Ridge extensions. I have no intention of
using an NFS mount as the source to burn a cd, I should have stated that
originally. Red Hat's ftp site isn't the only place I've tried, but I always
see the same thing. (The only other site I can remeber off my head is
sunsite.unc.edu, so I don't think it's a "too many users" thing.) Thanx.
Regarding the guy with 9 partitions, while recent stable kernels do have native
support for fat32, I'm not aware of being able to install linux onto a fat32
partition, but it should be visible by fdisk at the very least. Just out of
curiosity, why are 9 partitions needed for 3 OSes? couldn't you get by with 4?
(one for each OS, and one to share)
