Hi,

 

I am (very) new to Unattended install and am looking forward to being able to rid myself of ghost images. I am having trouble creating a bootdisk.iso using ver4.0a. I burnt a copy of the default bootdisk.iso (that came with the distribution) successfully on my winXP laptop. It works fine and I am able to remotely install WinXP to my systems using it. However, I need to add a couple of drivers to the disk and want to customize the autoexec.bat file for my network.

 

I have copied the required files to my redhat 8.0 linux box and carefully followed the instructions to alter the autoexec and add the drivers to the drivers directory and Drivers.txt file. When I run �make� there are no errors. However, I do not have a CD-burner on my linux box and so need to move the bootdisk.iso file from the linux machine back to my laptop.

 

When I burn the updated iso file on my laptop, the resulting CD is non-bootable. Investigating the differences I notice, the default iso that came with the distribution created two directories on the CD � namely CVS and ISOLINUX, while the bootdisk.iso my linux box generated only creates the ISOLINUX directory (it does contain all of the changes I made so I must be doing something right). Im guessing the missing CVS directory is the problem.

 

My question is, why doesn�t the �make� procedure create a bootable iso and what can I do about it ?

 

Any help greatly appreciated.
