How to edit isolinux.cfg, then remaster with new setting?

#1 Post by Cowhand »

I would like to edit isolinux.cfg to have PHOME=sda1
and PSLEEP=25

After doing this, I would like to burn another boot CD with this information added. Somehow, my reading of all of the instructions that I could find still does not make clear how to accomplish this.

Could any of the more experienced Puppy users point me in the right direction?

Thanks,javascript:emoticon(':roll:')

you could just replace the isolinux.cfg in the iso itsself: http://www.winiso.com/ can do this for you (there are probably better iso-editing programs btw)

Also, I find the old instructions (scroll down) on remastering the cd still very useful when you wish to make simple changes to the iso: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/cd-puppy.htm

Okay. Editing the iso:

Step one: Get the stuff out. Mount the cd (the icon that says "drives" on the desktop can do that.)
Then copy those files to an empty directory.

Step two: Edit stuff.

Step three: Put it back togeather again.
Open a console and run the following, replacing the paths with the correct ones.

Code: Select all

mkisofs -o /root/new-puppy.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /root/directory_with_files/

I guess the name winISO could be a clue.
