This is probably either a problem with RedHat 8 (broken mkisofs?) or with whatever technology you used to move the file back to your laptop (LF/CRLF problem?). Or maybe just a bad CD. > When I burn the updated iso file on my laptop, the resulting CD is > non-bootable.

Im > guessing the missing CVS directory is the problem. The CVS directory is an artifact of our version control system. It is not used for anything on the ISO image. In fact, it should not be there at all... And I have fixed this for the next release. Not that this helps you :-). > My question is, why doesn't the "make" procedure create a bootable > iso and what can I do about it ? It works for me and for other people. What happens when you try to boot the CD, exactly? Can you make your ISO image available for download somewhere and send me a link (privately)? I may have some time this weekend to take a look at it. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
