Yes - it's a pretty painful read, but in the long run it's worth plowing through. Basically you just need to look at the boot options (-b) and how to insure that you include a valid boot image in the command syntax. There may be a better how-to out there, or a GUI tool that takes mkisofs and puts it in the hands of those that don't want to learn to translate man pages into understandable English - but I have not seen any such animal myself. FWIW - I use a very slim set of mkisofs options and that's all I really deal with. While "Linux in a Nutshell" offers a little more useful format to the man page content, it really doesn't get much more into "real world example" - even though the section is 8 pages long... It should be something like: mkisofs -r -l -b /path/to/boot/files -o name_of_your_iso /path/to/content Hint: look at the RH CDs for the boot files they use.....

rewrite bootloader
by Michael Smith 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Dear All, I have several experimental Linux installs, plus one production install, with a boot floppy for each. The latest install, of course, puts its own bootloader on the hard disk (the Fedora 1.0 bootloader was overwritten by Mandrake 9.2). Now, my problem is that I want to make Fedora 1.0 boot from the hard disk, but I cannot find the maintenance tool to rewrite the bootloader in any of the menus. What am I overlooking? How do I rewrite the bootloader. Thanks for your help. Mike Smith __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Bug Day 8: Dec 03,2003: For a change of pace, this reminder is a a day before the actual bugday
by Jef Spaleta 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Do NOT be alarmed! Today is not Wednesday! But tomorrow is! and that means..... Fedora Bug Day Tomorrow!!!!!! Theme: A general call to arms, for bugbusting!!!!! Not really sure there is a specific issue that needs to be addressed from the community side of things, other than the increasing and consistent pile-up of packages sitting at fedora.us waiting for community QA. Or at least developers haven't pulled my ear about it. So there is no specific bughunting theme. There are in fact several long term issues that I personally want to encourage the community to help me explore in the bughunting and bug triaging solution space. This is probably going to be an extremely rambling email. *Become involved in the fedora.us QA process and help QA packages that are waiting to be published in the fedora.us addon repo: http://www.fedora.us/QA . There are 293 packages sitting waiting for QA. That's 293 packages the Fedora community could be enjoying in the published fedora.us repository trees, once they have made it through the community QA process. Remember, until the full merge is completed and Fedora Extras and Alternatives is up and running...community packagers are being advised to use fedora.us's process. How do you become involved in the fedora.us QA process? Easy, read: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy *Help triage the fedora core bugzilla reports by reviewing open bugzilla bug tickets and trying to use simple comment strings as a way to categorize bug reports to make it easier for developers to quickly find bugs that can be marked closed. For more information take a look at: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/TriageComment http://www.fedora.us/wiki/CannedQueries But if you are unsure on how to use the triage comment idea, discussion in #fedora-bugs on the freenode irc network is encouraged. *there is also going to be an opportunity for bug triagers to test a set of xmlrpc bugzilla interface tools, very soon now. I'm not directly involved with the tool building, but Mr. Nasrat should be sending a follow up post with some more detailed directions about some example tools...its all too very exciting for me to talk about in a fashion approximating coherence. -jef"one paragraph was written in invisible ink"spaleta

CD burning software
by Stephan Schutter 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Is anyone opposed to including K3B (both SuSE and mandrake have it); it is the only CD burning software that can compare with the commercial applications out there. It looks like ROXIO Easy CD Creator and works like it. The Cd software included in Fedora requires root access (absurd, users should be able to use the software to duplicate and burn music CDs etc.).
