I was able to successfully build an ISO from source, but only with very ugly by-hand hacks and tweaks on CentOS 5. This was documented painfully completely by me in a couple of e-mails to the list about a month or so ago. > I am using debian for building from source.

The idea of reengineering the entire boot CD creation process is not appealing to me, especially considering my *very* modest needs. I just want a boot CD that doesn't require user input. Now that we've fixed my booting problems, I don't even need to build my own CD to do that. I can modify the stock ISO to achieve that. But now that I've got a build process working, I will probably stick with my custom CD for this year. It has a big advantage in reducing the timeout for missing Broadcom firmware from 60 seconds to 1 second. Incidentally, seeing as firmware loading is broken on the CD, I'm not sure why the default isn't reduced anyway... All I want out of the build process is a way to easily remove DOSEMU seeing as most of my by-hand hassles are caused by it not building with the same version of GCC as everything else--and seeing as I don't use DOSEMU, you would think that would be easy. But it's not. So, I deal with my convoluted build process. Timothy J. Massey Out of the Box Solutions, Inc.
