qeldroma Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I want to modify a CD-Distro for client-reasons. Therefor, i have to get the boot-image from the cd, so i can reburn it with changed /etc-settings. But how do i extract it? Normally opening the cd by mount only shows the normal filesystem from the distro, because the boot-image is something special i'm not understanding right now. All i know is, that this image is beeing seen by the machine as floppy. But how and why? I don't know. Do i have to mount only the bootfloppy-image, without the rest of the cd in a special way?

Counterspy Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I would boot the Install Disk #1 in Windows and use Ultraedit to look at each file until you find it. If Ultraedit doesn't find it then it may be graphic enough not to show up in that editor. Then go through the files with a graphic editor. Eventually you will find it. I would bet on Ultraedit as the winner. I haven't found a Linux competitor for Ultraedit but that is from the lack of looking. There may well be one that matches its capabilities. Counterspy.
