I've seen a lot of conversation over the years for putting systems on CD-ROM for various reasons. However, I've never seen anyone automate this process... Being a large fan of automation, I decided to write some code to allow the administrators to setup a system and just type 'make' to have it generate an ISO. The idea started out as a way of building CD-ROM based packet filters. However, it's a generic script and can be used for just about any system you want to have booting from CD. The script also supports the building of another CD for automating the partitioning of hard disks and supplying a recovery type disk (this CD is written before file removal if you're doing that). I wrote it for use on FreeBSD (although it shouldn't take much to port it if sufficient interest is shown) and have made it available under a BSD style license. For anyone that's interested in this kind of thing, please have a look and send ideas/patches/bugs/bitches back to this address or psarmstr@optushome.com.au The script and some supporting/example files can be downloaded from http://members.optushome.com.au/psarmstr/ Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
