How to burn on DVD a custom recompile Kernel ?
Hi all,
I try to found an answer for this first but have not. Here's the thing : I freshly recompile a kernel whit new modules ( 2.6.9-67 Oracle Linux Enterprise 4) and what I want to do is just burn to DVD my new linux for future installation on different computers. I'm sure it's nothing complicated but what's the appropriate method for this ? Thanks for all the answers. |
Here's my idea how you can do it;
Insert CD/DVD where you've copied your system,unmount it if it's mounted automatically and then create CD/DVD iso image with command; Code:
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/2.6.9-67_Oracle_Linux_Enterprise_4.iso if=/dev/cdrom: read from /dev/cdrom(rawformat) of=/tmp/2.6.9-67_Oracle_Linux_Enterprise_4.iso: write to file; 2.6.9-67_Oracle_Linux_Enterprise_4.iso i.e. create an ISO image.Then you can burn that iso image and use it for hard disk installations. |
Thanks Alan.
I understand the process but whit the command you said it will create an image FROM the CDROM ( if=/dev/cdrom). Me , I want to create an ISO whit my entire linux system and then burn this ISO to DVD. Unless I misunderstood something. |
Do you know the exact way to backup an entire system that you will be able to use to make a bootable ISO ?
I don't think you can just copy your entire system and then make and ISO that will boot like an origial DVD linux installation. It's just not the same structure. In fact, I think it's just not possible. Linux guru and everyone , correct me . Thanks for your answer Alan |
