[Trinux-talk] Inquiry

[TakMel W. <ta...@wi...>]

I've been able to successfully use 1.44MB diskettes to start Trinux.  Now, I
want to expand & start doing either of the following:

1. combination of boot floppy + CDR with Trinux packages;
2. bootable CDR contain boot image & Trinux packages.

I prefer #2 but I can live with #1 also.  Having trouble finding freeware
for the Windoze platform that does similar to the RAWRITE for the floppy.
Also I don't know what I have to modify on the boot floppy if I use #1.

Can someone give a hand to this newbie?

TIA,
Robert

The simpliest way should be:
boot from floppy, just the minimum
install all what you want via script.

What do you want? Another DOS-"rawrite" or another Linux-"dd"?

You have to modify the "initrd.gz".

Viele Gruesse!
