Okay,

This one MD5sum'ed alright and I made a directory inside the temp folder
where I copied the iso (from the loop moun thing) and used that to place
the image created using parted.

I then did:

mkisofs -r -l -o part.iso /tmpiso/mnt/

umask 077 
cdrecord -v =dev,0,0,0 speed=4 -data part.iso

Anyway for some reason it didn't boot... any ideas?

I've had a few "free as in"s so I may try again tomorrow.

regards,

Chris
