My first *page* >didn't even have that link on it. well... i didn't know if it was ok to post links to unofficial gentoo resources on this list which is why i went with the search. i also meant to point out that what you are looking for is fairly common knowledge and that you can easily find all the information you need with a simple search query. and i assumed that you would be capable to find the one search result that does describe all you need to know in the first 5 hits. i even checked that it is in there in different google TLDs and with different hl= options. >> alternatively you could use catalyst: >> http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/ >> >> or you just mount the iso, modify it, run mkisofs on it and burn it. >> the mkisofs options you are looking for are -b and -c. > >I knew there was going to be something I wasn't going to know, and it >looks like the values passed to -b and -c are it. again, the hint you maybe didn't get was: you will have to do some of the work yourself. >I don't want to build a CD from scratch (and doing so looks like it >would require setting up a fully "generic" box to build).
