For simplicities sake I'd like to burn it onto a CDROM and install it similarly to the way you'd install the 2.1 distribution. How is this done? Alternatively, I've been thinking about using a CDROM as a boot device, and booting from a live filesystem for the / and the /usr filesystems, and using a seperate SCSI harddrive for the more volitile /home filesystem. This would be my ideal solution, but I'm not sure if it can be done. I'd appreciate any help you can offer me.
