[Trinux-talk] 5sep02.iso checksum error...

[EALES, D. <D....@st...>]

Hi,
 
I am attempting to modify the 5sep02.iso to configure it for things like
network. I have a tool called winiso that lets me modify the files but
then when I try to boot using the modified image it says that there is a
bad checksum. How do I get around this error?
 
Thanks

I think you're probably going to have a hard time building the the iso 
image with anything other than mkisofs.  I really doubt that winiso has 
support for isolinux, which is what Trinux uses to boot itself (it 
replaces the traditional El Torrito floppy boot image).

I don't know about those ISO editors. Your best best is to probably re-burn it with mkisofs. If you don't a *NIX you can use trinux, assuming you've
got enough RAM.

# getpkg cdrtools     (this will give you mkisofs)

# mkdir /scratch
# mount -n -t tmpfs -o size=16384000 /dev/null /scratch

# cd /scratch

# snarf http://devel.trinux.org/iso-src.tgz

then untar it and see http://devel.trinux.org/scripts/tiso

for how to build the ISO. It might just be easier to copy the ISO to windows although you should be able to burn it from within trinux if you get ide
and ide-scsi emulation working
