Actually I'm really confused by this. I've never played around with
making my own bootable CD's before.

Looking at:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.html

I need to somehow create a .img file (as if from a bootable floppy)

Yet that part should be somewhere in the original iso. If I can find
that then I can go:

mkisofs -r -b boot/boot.img -c boot/boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso

or something...

Any ideas how to get the .img from the original iso?

Chris
