I want to inject my ks.cfg file into the iso image of my installation CD. I've read the documentation on RedHat's site, spotty at best, and searched the web for helpful info and I think I pretty much have the idea correct but am missing some minor detail or I don't understand something. I've taken CD #1 iso image and mount it like this: mount -o loop rhel-3-U1-i386-es-disc1.iso /mnt/iso The I copy the entire CD image to a directory I created for this purpose: cp -Rav /mnt/iso/* /root/isofilesys/ I add the ks.cfg file to the root of this new 'filesystem' Here's the part that fails. I try to create a new iso image from that new directory structure. Here's the command I'm trying to use: mkisofs -o new.iso -b /root/isofilesys/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c /root/isofilesys/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T /root/isofilesys/ And here is what it spits out: mkisofs 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Scanning /root/isofilesys/ Scanning /root/isofilesys/dosutils Scanning /root/isofilesys/dosutils/autoboot Excluded: /root/isofilesys/dosutils/autoboot/TRANS.TBL Excluded: /root/isofilesys/dosutils/TRANS.TBL Scanning /root/isofilesys/images Scanning /root/isofilesys/images/pxeboot Excluded: /root/isofilesys/images/pxeboot/TRANS.TBL Excluded: /root/isofilesys/images/TRANS.TBL Scanning /root/isofilesys/isolinux Excluded: /root/isofilesys/isolinux/TRANS.TBL Scanning /root/isofilesys/RedHat Scanning /root/isofilesys/RedHat/base Excluded: /root/isofilesys/RedHat/base/TRANS.TBL Scanning /root/isofilesys/RedHat/RPMS Excluded: /root/isofilesys/RedHat/RPMS/TRANS.TBL Excluded: /root/isofilesys/RedHat/TRANS.TBL Scanning /root/isofilesys/RedHat/Updates Excluded: /root/isofilesys/RedHat/Updates/TRANS.TBL Excluded: /root/isofilesys/TRANS.TBL call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping initial path separator. Hope this was intended... mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory '/root/isofilesys/isolinux'! I've checked and double checked the path and it is correct. And why is it excluding the TRANS.TBL files and what are their significance? I've been able to create an Installation Boot CD using the instructions at https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD but that does not put any of the packages on the CD. I'd also like to customize the CD and possibly fit it all of the packages that I need for my installation on one CD. If anyone can point me in the right direction on that issue, I'd appreciate it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Mac McClellan Sr. Network Engineer Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 75 West Center Street Provo, Utah 84601 801-437-7295
