Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux On CD

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

We've talked about it and I know several folks have done it, but I finally
just got around to doing it about five minutes ago.

Using mkisofs: mkisofs -o /tmp/trinux.iso -b 70boot.img .

from a directory that contains the boot image and the tarballs.

It boot just fine except since it couldn't mount /dev/fd0 it couldn't load
the ramdisk partition info or the initial packages on the
floppy.  However, is just a matter of modifying the linuxrc and changing
the default syslinux.cfg boot choice.

Look for .iso images in the next release.
