Re: [Freedos-user] Files to make cd bootable.

2009-05-04 Thread Eric Auer

Hi Kurt,

 This might seem a bit off  topic, but it's of general interest: In XP, you
 can make an ISO image of a folder;
 if you then burn that ISO image to the cd, using a true ISO burner, it is
 not bootable, it is lacking the files
 that would make it so. There are schemes to combine a floppy .img file with
 data files to make the cd
 bootable, but I wanted to do it with an iso editor like the isomaster in
 ubuntu. Now, can I simply add
 a smaller, bootable ISO with the editor? What I really want, though, are the
 actual files that I can add
 with the iso editor, that is the 'bare essentials'  that can make a cd
 bootable.--tnx, kurtwb2...@gmail.com.

To make a CD/DVD bootable in Linux K3B, you open a data cd/dvd project
and say edit boot images. You can then add a diskimage of a DOS boot
diskette, size 1.2, 1.44 or 2.88 MB supported. Other tools will have
similar options. As diskimage, I recommend the 2.88 MB Rugxulo mix on
http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ ;-)
