Hi y'all. First I wanna thank you for making a great livecd.
Then I'd like to tell how I used it with my Toshiba Satellite 200cds. It cannot boot from cd, and smart boot manager doesn't recognize the cd drive. I tried making a two-floppy system that could chroot into the cd. It became kinda good, but no matter what I tried, it had the kernel bug of not proceeding into init on 586. Tried several kernel versions.. Then I gave up for some months. I got used to DSL, a nice small distro. By messing with it I learned lots of booting live cds. -- So now I was able to boot LFS livecd (6.2-3) on this lappy! I booted a single-floppyer known to boot well and have iso9660 fs support, Zool 4. In it I copied the contents of /boot/isolinux of the livecd into /boot of the HD. Then I booted DSL with it's boot floppy to install grub. And by DSL methods: set up grub to boot that livecd kernel, with the same initramfs, and it booted. So, solution for non-cd-booting comps: Boot from HD with the same files and load the data from CD, like one of DSL's possible installs. I only subscribed to tell this, so if you have comments or stuff, please CC me. I'm now off to building LFS 6.2 on this lappy: P1-100Mhz!
