I want a boot CD that will start up the OS, not a rescue CD
that will allow me to load a shell.  Will that ISO give that
to me?

Thanks,

Hello:

I used to be able to make a boot disk in RedHat Linux.
Is there a way to make a similar thing on CD for Fedora Core 4?

I just installed a new machine, but it is not booting the OS
and it does not have a floppy drive.


Go here:
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/
for example, and download the rescue cd...

mkbootdisk can be passed options which can make ISO images that can be burned to CD and used to boot yor computer. The subject came up along time back and several tried it sccessfully, including myself. Since the subject is old, reading mkbootdisk info or man pages or searching the archives when Fedora first started using the 2.6 series kernels.

--iso  Instructs mkbootdisk to make a bootable ISO image as devicefile.

Jim

try this :
mkbootdisk --verbose --iso --device /root/<kernel_version>.iso <kernel_version>
