myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: Creating a live CD with extensions
Hi
I'm trying to add extensions to a liveCD DSL. I believe from the readme I need to add the files to the root directory of the CD, but I'm not sure what I then need to do to burn a bootable CD (that will automatically install DSL).
I currently use Nero (6.3) under Windows to create my CD's. Is this suitable?
Thanks
Ricyep, you need to edit the iso and add the extensions, add them to the root of the iso if you want them to autoload or in a directory named optional to have them as options.Or, burn the DSL iso image to your CD in multisession mode, leaving the disk 'open' then burn a second session with the extensions you want LOADED in the root of the disk, and the ones you want handy, but NOT LOADED, in the /optional dir. This requires no special software to "rebuild" the .iso , and works just the same.
73 ke4ntO wise Ico2, what Windoze app allow one to edit the iso? You can't "edit" an iso. you have to rebuild it.
-go get cdrtools (specifically mkisofs)
-now get winimage (shareware) or filedisk (GPL)
-do one of these: a- use winimage to extract the base files from the ISO (double click the iso file once winimage is installed), b- mount the iso with filedisk
Code Sample
filedisk /mount 0 c:\temp\dsl0901.iso /CD f:
-copy all the files from the CD to a temp directory. -copy your @boot extensions to the root folder of this directory -copy your optional extensions to the optional/ folder of this directory -run the following command:
