Title: Re: [Unattended] help with new linux boot cd image

I followed the following thread from the gentoo forums. (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-244837-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-livecd.html)

I went with gentoo because I am the most familiar with it as a distro. After you get it all setup it is easy to add new ethernet card drivers.

The best part is the hardware detection, I just compile in every ethernet card as a module and the detection script figures out what module is needed and loads it at boot.

I did end up stripping the ethernet stuff out of master.pl. Since unattended is open source you can customize it to your environment easily.

Or just use another livecd based distro - say www.pclinuxos.org - adjust what you want - trim what you do not need and then 'roll-your-own-distro' (they make it very simplistic.)

        Please post some instructions for either suggestion.  I have been spinning
my wheels with this same issue.
