Putting SLS onto CD

Putting SLS onto a CD should be a relatively easy process thanks to grub and mkisofs. Previously, in order to boot from a CD, you would first need a bootable floppy image, and then another image with the actual contents of the CD on it, and use some strange emulation mode. This needs not be the case here.

For basic instructions to create a bootable CD easily, the grub manual has a good discription at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html. For the stage2_eltorito grub file, I found it on the Fedora system at

	/usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/stage2_eltorito

Place the SLS initrd and vmlinuz inside the iso/ folder, not the iso/boot folder, and reference to it in the grub.conf and menu.lst files as:

default=0
timeout=5
title Small Linux Server
        root (cd)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-small
        initrd /initrd-small.img
