Creating a bootable cd
I took a Gentoo CD (live disk iso), copied all files and directories to a directory on my hard drive. Inside this directory I made some changes to suit the way I would like for the set up to be. Now, I want to burn this directory to a cd. How do I make this cd bootable?

What is that you are trying to do? From reading your post, you copied a Gentoo LiveCd to your hard disk and made several modifications. Now you are trying to repackage it into a new LiveCD (am I wrong here?).
Frome the livecd-ng Code:
Creating a Gentoo CD There is an updated tutorial here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Custom_Stage4 If it doesn't work, you could try http://www.linux-live.org/. They have bash scripts that will create a live cd, but it doesn't work with 2.6 kernels. |
CD burner settings
In my experience, to make a CD bootable (.iso), you simply tell the CD burning application you are using that you would like to make a bootable CD from a CD image. In roxio, it was something like
file -> make CD from image -> select file -> select filter ...make sure it's .iso -> burn! something like that...hope it helps |
