Hi Actually, my friend had the Installation CD, which was bootable (on my system)... So, I used the following command To create a ISO. # mkisofs -f -iso-level=1 -J -r -T -pad -v -o CD1.ISO -V "RHcd1" /mnt/cdrom/ Now, using this CD1.ISO, which I created, I wrote the CD using Easy CD creator. -The Media is OK. -The CMOS can boot other bootable CD. I think there is something wrong with the above command that I gave. (bcoz, I created the CD1.ISO) Now, what I want is, to create a BOOTABLE installation CD. How do I proceed ? regards, Arjun -----Original Message----- From: Josep M.
