Take a look at this one too, if you plan to use grub as a bootloader. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... D-ROM.html

Why not just make a bootable floppy image, and then from your burn software click make bootable and point it to the floppy image, now you have a bootable CD.

Because it's ugly and it's harder to do that way. Because you must make a code that boots system from floppy, which is just pain in the *s*, first. Because there is awkward emulation. Maybe because he hates flippies just like I do!Dex wrote:Why not just make a bootable floppy image, and then from your burn software click make bootable and point it to the floppy image, now you have a bootable CD.

All I do is use VFD to create a virtual floppy disk, create a floppy image from it, then just burn it to a CD... It's not that hard.
It is rather ugly though compared to the "correct" way.
