custom install CD?
#99952
Author: "NetworkElf"

I'd like to build a custom CD based on the boot.iso and specify all of the
pertinent information for users that would like to build a test box. i.e. I
want them to be able to boot to the CD and be done with it (this would
address a wide array of skill and knowledge sets). I do not want to use the
precompiled, bootable evaluation CD.

Can someone point me to some instructions, please? I've been Googling, but
seem to be missing the target when it comes to keywords.

Thanks!

I'll take a look at the site. Thank you.

I don't remember the exact combo of keywords I used, but it was something
similar. Likely, I simply had not had enough coffee at that point. I mean
really, who wakes up completely before lunch? :)

Go to http://freshmeat.net/ and put the following into the search box:

   multibootcd

(no spaces). This looks like what you might want . . . :-)

It's for Redhat, but AFAIK the basics are the same/similar for SuSE?

Found, btw, with Google and "custom CD based on boot.iso"
Heh, ya gotta love Google: it's black magic and deep juju  ;)

Yes indeed - I can barely stand up before that first caffeine burst, never
mind think.  :)

The box said "for Windows 98 or better", so I installed Linux.
