Hi all, |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have come across a small problem using the gentoo live cd. |
| 8 |
(livecd-basic-1.4_rc1-r2.iso). I am currently evaluating gentoo as an |
| 9 |
alternative to Red Hat as our favoured distribution; so far I like what |
| 10 |
I see although the portage system is a bit of an unknown at the moment |
| 11 |
and the philosophy of the distribution is very different. However I |
| 12 |
digress... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I came up with the idea of using the live cd to deploy an identical |
| 15 |
system across a range of identical boxes from a tarball. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I edited the ISO using (please don't shoot me down) WinISO; which I have |
| 18 |
used in the past to modify BBLCD's (Bernhards Bootable Linux CD Project) |
| 19 |
to add the tarballs. It created a bootable iso at the end but when it |
| 20 |
came to boot time it ran and immediately failed with the message: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
~ > ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... |
| 23 |
~ > |
| 24 |
~ > Boot failed: press a key to retry... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any attempt to press any key has no noticeable result though it may be |
| 27 |
re-displaying the same screen. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Is this checksum a security feature to prevent the stage-1 tarball being |
| 30 |
replaced by a compromised version? If it is then can it be changed to |
| 31 |
reflect the new contents of the disc? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Is there a HOWTO on the subject of creating a livecd? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Keep up the excellent work! |
| 36 |
|
