Hi, Copying the kernel from system to system is never good.... Best way to make such installation is by copying all other files , except the /boot. Then compile the kernel with the .config file and copy the files to /boot. It takes some more time to install then, but it's a stable kernel then. And of course, installing grub into the bootsector, with such command as */sbin/grub-install /dev/hda* Then you might want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or something like that, and you probably want to copy some of the grub stage files to /boot/grub No C/C++ is required for this.

Ok. Kevin, Tank's for the response, I'll like to be guided for you. I was thinking about made a Live CD from my blfs-distribution, and when this work fine, mount all the filesystem ( / ) in a partition of the HD, and wen it's all done, chroot to this copy of my original filesystem, copy the kernel that i've compiled originally and install grub to make it bootable, but i don't know if this is a good idea, right now I'm having trouble with the scripts to make a Live CD from my blfs system. Really tank you for any idea or guide that could give me. *Kevin Annies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* escribió: Hi Gerardo, I wish to acheieve the same as you (create a distribution). I may not be able to give you a definate solution but may be able to guide you along the nessacery lines. I made an assumption that to make sure my system was generic enough to distribute, I created a bootable cd and used it on several machines. I was originally thinking of creating a cd that contained a small Linux and the contents of a main system, the small Linux existing primariliy for the purpose of partitioning, and copying the contents of the main Linux onto the new machine using a script. The tricky part comes when modifying the boot sector using grub where I beleieve a little C/C++ is required. This method is currently one that I am currently researching so I have no definate answers yet. If you are looking for a simple alternative, I've heard of people using already available commercial installers such as Anaconda and modifying them to work with the blfs system. Sorry if this is not what you are looking for. Regards Kevin ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Gerardo Medellin Hdez.
