Hi, Nice work! I got a working bootable cd within a few minutes of playing around with bootcd. This is definately the answer for a lot of custom apps. Anyway, I would like to make a boot cd that is able to: 1) boot from the cd drive 2) copy ALL of the filesystem into a ramdrive 3) unmount the cd drive 4) then burn information to a blank CD on the same CD Drive that it previously booted from Is there a way to do this with bootcd? So far I have a very stripped down install that takes up only ~80-100 MB (no frills like X..., but I could probably make it even smaller) Is it as simple as altering the bootcd script to copy the other directories like /bin and /lib as well as the ones it already copies like /home and /tmp? Then just do a pivot_root to the ramdrive or something? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Thomas _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
