Has anyone created a bootable cd using Linux tools (ie mkisofs and cdrecord)??
How is this accomplished? I would like to take a windows 98 boot disk and create a bootable cdrom
from it. I have used dd to create an image of the 98 floppy, but I'm unclear as to what parameters
I need to pass mkisofs in order to create a bootable cd image with that 98 image.
I know that I need to use the -b and -c flags as stated in the cd-writing howto, but I'm a bit
confused as to what the -c flag take as a parameter? What is the boot catalog? What does it need
to contain and is there a specific format for it? Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Rob
