I'm still trying to figure this out.

I have a system to will start if the cheat code dsl acpi=off is entered at the boot prompt.

What file would I put that command in to make it automatic on reboot on a remastered CD.

My remaster is based on 3.2-syslinux.

Thanks

edit .../mycdrom/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
for the default entry, append " acpi=off" to it

It is syslinux.cfg which is contained within boot.img, copy the boot.img to a writable area and then:

#mount boot.img /mnt/test -o loop
#vi /mnt/test/syslinux.cfg
#umount /mnt/test

^thehatsrule^

there is no such directory or file on my CD - there is a cdrom directory. Within that there is a KNOPPIX directory, and within that there is a file named KNOPPX and a boot.cat and boot.im file.

there is also a directory called KNOPPIX on the CD as well.

?

boot.img is file file! Re-read my post.
