The path you provide the script should point to the root directory -for the CD. - -For example after you have built the gi install with /export, simply pass -/export to the script as the distribution path and a name for the image. -Once the image is built you can use hmount, humount, hdir, hcd and hattrib -to modify and inspect the image before you commit it to CD-R. - -Before you run the script make sure the CD version of iBoot is in the -iBoot directory below /export (eg. /export/iBoot), if you want to use some -other directory then simply modify the script. Beware, HFS is not case -sensitive, so if you already have an INSTALL file you cannot create install. - -Currently iBoot sports two trees, one for the install CD and another for -regular usage. These will be merged shortly and a simply #define can be used -in the Makefile to implement one or the other from a single binary. - -Enjoy!! - - -Addendum: 3/15/2001 Stew Benedict <sbenedict@mandrakesoft.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -A couple of changes. - -I've opted to standardize on yaboot, which is user configurable, so the script -is modified now to use yaboot. - -Secondly, since mkhybrid merged with mkisofs, the hybrid images it creates are -read-only, so one is unable to mount the image and bless the boot directory for -booting. Consequently, I've included the binary for mkhybrid-1.12b5.4, which -does work. - - -Addendum: 3/10/2005 Christiaan Welvaart <cjw@daneel.dyndns.org> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -10.1 and 10.2 ppc isos were generated with mkcd, with the following options -added to the mkisofs call: - -T --netatalk -hfs -probe -part -no-desktop \\ - -hfs-volid "$config->{disc}[$i]->{label}" \\ - -map /usr/share/mkcd/hfs_mapping \\ - -magic /usr/share/mkcd/hfs_magic \\ - -hide '*.MacOS' -hide '*.DOS' \\ - -hide-joliet '*.Unix' -hide-joliet '*.MacOS' \\ - -hide-hfs '*.Unix' -hide-hfs '*.DOS' \\ - '-hfs-bless' $builddir/$i/boot \\ |
