Hi all,

if you are interesting to make multiboot-dvd with more than one ISOLINUX-based linux-distributions (for example Fedora Core 5 and Gentoo 2006.0) you can do it like the following description:

1) First you have to extract all the files of the cd/dvd-iso to harddisk
2) Rename the folder ISOLINUX to another name with 8 characters, like ILFCORE5.
3) Open the file ISOLINUX.BIN with a hex-editor
4) Search for ISOLINUX (second hit) and rename it to the new folder-name ILFCORE5
5) Master the image new with command "mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "FC/5 i386" -b ilfcore5/isolinux.bin -c ilfcore5/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o c:\fedora.iso ."
6) Extract the new image to harddisk and copy all the files to folder easyboot/disk1
7) Extract the bif-File with Ultraiso to fc5.bif
8) In Easyboot make new entry for Fedora Core with command "bootinfotable;run fc5.bif"
9) Repeat these steps with Gentoo, rename folder ISOLINUX to ILGENTOO, patch the ISOLINUX.BIN and master the new image. Copy files, extract bif-file and make new entry.

That's all. If you have some live-cd with one file KNOPPIX, rename it and change reference in ISOLINUX.CFG. One this way I make multiboot-dvd for german magazine Linux Professionell with Red Hat Fedora Core 5, OpenWall 2.0 (OWL), IPCop 1.4.10, Asterisk@Home 2.8, StartCom Enterprise Linux 4-AS-4.0.1, Damn Small Linux (DSL) 2.3 and Gentoo 2006.0 Live-CD.

Bye

CODE

5) Master the image new with command "mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "FC/5 i386" -b ilfcore5/isolinux.bin -c ilfcore5/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o c:\fedora.iso ."

¿Como y donde hay que poner ese comando para hacer la ISO?

Yo quiero hacer un multiboot, que arranque Windows XP y Knoppix 4.0.2 (CD-Live).

Thanks. but I've problems with the point 5. I can't create the iso file because mkisofs doesnt work. I'm using the last version avaliable. I'm trying to do it with gentoo 2006.0.

See ya!!
