Ok, I'm way outta my league here, but there is some info on this
in the ultrapenguin.html files over in the ultra directory on
ftp.redhat.com site.
One section talks about "Burning your own CD" .
~12 small html files that are worth reading whether you want to load
up a Ultra_Sparc or not.
Looking at about 80k including the background.jpg and the
ultrapenguin.gif logo.
You're looking specifically for:
/pub/mirrors/ultra/Users-Guide/ultrapenguin-7.html
*This is Silo and NOT LILO* but good reading.
