Making RH9 install CD's

DJ Shaji · 05-29-2005, 06:08 AM

Ok - this is what I want to do : I want to make custom RH9 CD's.

I put everything on RH Disc 1 on a CDR and make it bootable. But whenever I boot from it, the installer does not find the CD and says that the RedHat CD is not in my drive, even though the CD contains ALL of the stuff contained in RH disc 1. Am I missing something ? Please Help.

Also, Anaconda, the RedHat system installer, is on the second CD. What's up with that ?

From where did you get the RH9 Discs....??

Because if you have installed RH9 and try to make discs, then you have use the copy disc option ..in NERO ...

No - you don't understand :

I have all 3 RH9 CD's and I want to make custom CD's. So what I do is to make the first CD bootable using the image file bootdisk.img and then copy all the stuff from the RH9 first disc to the disc that I am making. It works fine and boots. But that's about it. It refuses to recognize the CD in the drive as a red hat disc, even though all the stuff that's on the red hat disc is on the CDR.

In other words, my CD boots and then stops, saying that no RedHat disc was found.

Actually, is it that you just want a single disc for RH9?

and that's why you have made a your own specific disk?

I think, for this disc, you would require some files, that would lead to identify this disc as RH9 disc and mostly those files are missing hence, not being detected as a RH9 disc.

According to me a copy disc option for the first disc wud have been better and then for the other two u cud have used your own options
