Re: Burning a RedHat 6.0 CD

["Brian Macy" <bmacy sunshinecomputing com>]

- Mirror it with mode_copy=true so the i386/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin
directory tree has the proper permissions.
- Do a 'mkisofs -b images/boot.img -c boot.cat -J -o
redhat-i386-6.0.iso -R -T i386/'
- Then 'cdrecord dev=<scsi, target, lun> speed=# -v redhat-i386-6.0.iso'

You should have a bootable CD with Joilet, Rockridge, and TRANS.TBL
extensions... I just did it this evening and it works great. Did the same
thing with 5.2 too.
