Dear folks,
 
I recently downloaded RH 8 (Psyche) release from one of my friend..and i burnt the CDs.
 
The problem was, the CD was not bootable.
Anyway, i used the boot image /images/boot.img found on disk 1 to create a boot disk (floppy), and installed RH 8 on my machine
 
Now, what i would like to do is, i would like to create a BOOTABLE INSTALLATION CD (DISK 1)
I tried giving the following command :
 
# mkisofs -o rh8img.iso -b /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat  -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V -T /mnt/cdrom/
 
but i got the following error msg :
 
mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image '/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.bin'
 
# ls /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.bin -l
-r--r--r--    2 root     root         8696 Sep 11 02:21 /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.bin
 
What could be the problem
and what is the CORRECT way of creating a bootable installation CD ?
 

regards,
Arjun
