Hi all,
I have 5 x ISO's for SUSE 10 RC1 (x86_32 and x86_64 versions). I've
been trying to create a bootable DVD to do installs from. I have found
a lot of info about mkisofs, but I need to create using Nero or some
Windows tool, since I don't have a Linux box to start from. In the past
(SUSE 9.3Pro) I 'unzipped' each ISO file into a common directory. Then
I found /boot/loader/isolinux.bin, used it as the boot image for the
DVD. This has worked in the past, but it doesn't want to work with v10.
I'm happy to read up more on the theory of how/why the boot process
works for a DVD, because this is not only a functional, but a learning
exercise for me.
Feel free to point me to some sites that can help. Or if you feel like
explaining, I'm ok with that too :-)
Much appreciated,
Cheers.
