I have another question though. I mounted the distro 1 cd and cd to /cdrom and did tar cSf - . |(cd /usr/myboot;tar xSf -) so I could move in the new loader program. The problem is I ended up with an iso file system after I did mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b boot/cdboot -o /tmp/bootable.iso /usr/myboot that was 991mb which was to big to put on a CD. Where did I go wrong? Since this was only a test I rm'ed packages, rescue and release directories, but how did it all fit on the CD originally?
