-Removed etherboot(-pci)?.* rule because there are too many drivers and
|
26
|
|
-the image will no longer fit in memory. I don't want to choose a subset
|
27
|
|
-of drivers as everybody will have different preferences. So I'm going to
|
28
|
|
-piss off everybody equally by deleting the rule. Use the multiple driver
|
29
|
|
-rule (driver1--driver2--...) and select your own subset of drivers.

-In order to create .iso and .liso images you will need to have the

32
|
|
-packages mtools-3.9.9 or later, and syslinux-2.08 or later installed on
|
33
|
|
-your system. These packages are available in various locations and
|
34
|
|
-formats. .liso images are like .iso but use floppy emulation. If you
|
35
|
|
-have a very old BIOS and .liso images don't work you may wish to try
|
36
|
|
-adding the -s option of syslinux as a last resort.
