ok this might be a bit kludgy but, try something like the following. this worked with a slackware cd I have here. 1. copy the entire contents of the cd to yer hdd on linux. 2. add the appropriate images and configuration changes to the isolinux directory and the isolinux.cfg file respectively. 3. issue a command like this. mkisofs -o /tmp/debian.iso -R -V "Debian Install" -v -d -D -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -A "Debian 3.0r0 i386 Install CD" . I'm assuming of course, you're in the top of the newly created directory tree you've created e.g. debian issue that command above and then when it's done copy the debian.iso file from /tmp to your hdd and move it across to the windows machine and burn until you're heart's content. it should work. if not use an eltorito boot image. hth at the risk of being helpful, John covici delivered up the following on Wed, Oct 29, 2003 at 05:14:09PM -0500, > You need to have what would be a floppy disk image -- I can tell you > how to create it on gnu/Linux, but not on windows.
