That is going to be hard. The system expects to be able to write to various parts of the filesystem (swap files, config files, lock files, etc.). That will not work well on a CD. The bootable CDs you get from other people do things like mount a ramdisk as root, and then mount the rest of the CD on /usr or some such. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
