Hello all,

I want to create a bootable CD that also contains qemu so I can run DSL embedded if I need to. I've been reading and searching over a couple of hours but I still don't see any simple method to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

It seems I need to create a .iso from the embedded dsl files. If there is no simple way I'll just have to resort to carrying a DSL bootable CD and a CD containing embedded DSL (not bootable).

Ultimately I will want to add some mydsl apps, do these have to be added to the iso before writing or can they be written to CD later?

I understand you want to create a booable CD from where to boot into DSL and if you use it on a running windows machine you want to be able do use "qemu-DSL".

Download the DSL embedded ISO and unpack it to a folder called "mediaroot". Get mkisofs for your OS, get syslinux. Create a subfolder called boot, put syslinux/isolinux there. Configure syslinux to start with kernel=linux24 (from embedded DSL) and initrd=minirt24.gz with the appropriate path. Now, create a new ISO image from the unpacked contents, on my windows box I do it like this:

bin\mkisofs.exe -follow-links -cache-inodes -o multiboot.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -v -iso-level 4 -R mediaroot\

To do that, you need to remaster your DSL. Google on "KNOPPIX remaster" - not really difficult, but you need some expirience...
