Even though out of town . . . the 10.0 has progressed but on booting now hangs at "Activating swap partitions". I see there is someone with a similar problem at the live-cd users list.

Thanks for your suggestions - 9.2 is not happening at the moment, using the kernel-tmb-2.4.22.21.tmb.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

causes a kernel panic on my 9.2.1.

Well, a response came back on the live-cd users list.

At the boot prompt type: livecd noscsi and YES it booted fine.

And it is all so good. Thank you Anna for putting together the above howto and your help.

Next I will explore installing back to HD!

Anna,

Thanks for making available all your findings!

I have attempted using both 9.2 and 10, unfortunately both were without success. I got closer with 10 - making the iso it went a bit wonky at the end with the md5 business. However the iso seemed ok. On boot up it got half way before a kernel panic.

I am more interested in getting 9.2 going. I am puzzled on two counts.

1. Where to find the cvs tarball file for mklivecd utilities- it doesn't seem to be present at:

http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/livecd/

2. Which kernel is satisfactory - the kernel mentioned above for using with 9.2 is no longer available. What kernel is likely to be ok?

I did try making the iso with your 9.2 instructions and the standard 9.2 kernel. The iso built ok but on boot up just after the start I got a blank screen.

Any suggestions on where to go would be appreciated.
