bootcd, boocdwrite, kernel with CD support built in
Hello! I want to use bootcd to write my Debian system onto a CD. That CD want then use to install this system on my old Toshiba laptop. The laptop requires other kernel, then my Pentium 4 machine. I think I must to build a custom kernel for this pourpose. I red man bootcdwrite and there stand this: It is important that the kernel can access the cdrom on the system, where you want to boot from the CD, without having to load any modules. (Because to load modules from CD, the kernel must have access to CD before). If this is not the case you have first to create a new kernel with CD-support built in. I have installed 2.6.18-5-686 SMP linux-image. I searched in config-2.6.18-5-686 file for the CD support line, but not shore whether I finded it. Is it the following lines? CONFIG_IDE=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

CONFIG_IDE=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m I would use mondo first. That writes everything to CD and makes the CD bootable with your present kernel. Then try to boot that on the Toshiba and see what you get: you lose nothing. Then you can adjust your present kernel to correct any errors.
