Does anyone know what the trick is to creating bootable DVDs? I was asked that recently and did not know
When I've messed with making bootable DVD's, I did everything the same as making a bootable CD. The only issue I ran into was some machines didn't boot if the boot files were very far into the ISO image. I was making self-booting recovery disks, that would boot into a small linux environment (SystemRescueCD) and automatically restore the C: drive (from an apx. 4G compressed filesystem image). I found if the isolinux directory with the boot files came after the 4G filesystem image the DVD wouldn't boot on all systems. Other than that, I've found making bootable DVDs is pretty easy. - -- Charles Steinkuehler charles@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI/5a1LywbqEHdNFwRAuwpAKDur79k8RKAsG0Ff0bgdKjYXomwvgCdFsHF rnSiiI5qiPyMj3TrQeDvp5E= =ZeJ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
