I'm including below a specific sequence for making a bootable CD, taken from
the Red Hat Installation Guide. It relies on the isolinux directory
contained on the Red Hat installation CDs. The isolinux directory contains
several files, including the executable isolinux itself and a linux kernel
image, probably the same one used for creating bootable floppies.
Your best bet is to look around your distribution's web site and see if they
provide an isolinux directory with whatever you need already in it. In any
case, you can download the Red Hat isolinux at
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/isolinux/
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/
1.4.2. Making an Installation Boot CD-ROM
isolinux is now used for booting the Red Hat Linux installation CD. To
create your own CD-ROM to boot the installation program, use the following
instructions:
Copy the isolinux/ directory from the first Red Hat Linux CD-ROM into a
temporary directory (referred to here as <path-to-workspace>) using the
following command:
cp -r <path-to-cd>/isolinux/ <path-to-workspace>
Change directories to the <path-to-workspace> directory you have created:
cd <path-to-workspace>
Make sure the files you have copied have appropriate permissions:
chmod u+w isolinux/*
Finally, issue the following command to create the ISO image file:
mkisofs -o file.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T isolinux/
Note
The above command was split into two lines for printing purposes only.
When you execute this command, be sure to type it as a single command, all
on the same line.
Burn the resulting ISO image (named file.iso and located in
<path-to-workspace>) to a CD-ROM as you normally would.
