Best way to do this is to make a bootable floppy with the kernel you require and use the SYSLINUX program. You can than mount the CDROM itself and continue the boot process from there. Lilo is kind of an annoyance. Jer Okay heres the deal: I need/want to make myself a system admin disk. I want it bootable and able to boot linux(maybe the bbc), dos, and a memory checker whichs can be booted through lilo. Has anyone ever written lilo to a cdr or cdrw? Once I get the bootable stuff done, I need to add some other files, and sys admin tools, like fdisk, format.... Ghost, Drive Image................. Most of the stuff I need from a day to day bais. I want this cd to be the bomb. Anyone have any ideas as to how to do the bootable thing with dos, linux and the memory manger?
