but I am having challenges
creating a bootable Disk 1 for WBEL. A detailed list of what I have
done is at
the end of this message. However, I’ll just cut to the chase for the
moment. The only bootdisk.img I have found so far that CD-Roast will
tolerate
was on a RH9 install disk. Once the CD was burned it did indeed boot,
but then
complained that it couldn’t find a RH Distro CD. CD-Roast seems fairly
adamant about the size of the boot image as well. The FAQ and How-To
were
helpful but just not quite there from a “step-by-step” perspective.</span></font></p>
