I am putting together a 'surf station'. Non-volatile files are to be on CD-Rom: / /etc /usr. Volatile files will be on a hard disk: swap /var. I have read the Torito specs. I have installed mkisofs. I have surfed for hints on the web. I have scoured the FreeBSD sight for hints. So far not a lot of luck!? I have configured a RUNNING system, created an iso image, and burned several cd's. Most of them booted, but all tried to put me into the installation process. Not good. I DON'T want to make an install cd, I buy those. I want to make a bootable cd of a running/configured system. The only boot program I could find to put on the cd that would actually allow the cd to boot was boot.flp, which of course plunges me into the install. Does anyone have a clue for the clueless? I have just subscribed to this group so it might be safer to send responses to: hal@cc.usu.edu for a while until the mail starts to flow. Assuming of course someone will deign to give me a pointer or two. hal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
