bootCD v.0.3 package for fli4l 2.0.4
This is an optional package for fli4l
which allows creating a bootable CD instead of a boot floppy.
For documentation see the doc/ directory.
For the impatient here's a quickstart:
- Unpack this archive in the fli4l tree
- Optional:
If you want harddisk installation, unpack the opt_hd package
from the fli4l homepage (http://fli4l.sf.net) and after this
unpack "hd_update.tgz".
- Configure the files below config/
- Optional:
If you want a special CD drive to be used, change the parameter
"cd=auto" in img/syslinuxcd.cfg to the drive
you'd like to be used.
cd=/dev/hda if it's master on first IDE channel,
cd=/dev/hdb if it's slave on first IDE channel,
cd=/dev/hdc if it's master on second IDE channel,
cd=/dev/hdd if it's slave on second IDE channel.
Otherwise the CD will be sought for automaticaly in the following
order: hdc, hdb, hdd, hda
- Run "mkcd.sh" (Linux) resp. "mkcd.bat" (Windows), enter
a formatted 1.44MB floppy, get a blank CDR medium and follow
the instructions.
- Optional:
If you have a really huge configuration and the files do not fit
into the root filesystem, you can use the "-l" switch with
"mkcd.{bat|sh}" to use a 32MB version of the root filesystem.
Run "mkcd.{bat|sh} -h" to see a command line description
You must have the programs "mkisofs" and "cdrecord" installed
for linux, for windows, there are binaries included.
