PBCD

... or Pauls Boot CD is effectively a toolkit for making Linux boot CDs. It sets up a basic framework with some scripts that should simplify the process of creating a bootable CD.

What to do

First download it from here. Extract it into a directory and you should have a bunch of scripts and some directories:

initrd/	the file tree of the initrd image
root/	the file tree of the root filesystem after boot
cdimage/	the file tree of what is actually on the CD
build-initrd.sh	a script to create the cdimage/isolinux/initrd.gz image
build-root.sh	a script to create the cdimage/rootfs.gz image
make-iso.sh	a script to take the tree under cdimage and convert it into a iso9660 file image

To create a burnable ISO image do the following:

   ./build-initrd.sh
   ./build-root.sh
   ./make-iso.sh

You should now have an iso file. Either use cdrecord to burn it or possibly some *indows cd burner software.Read the README that came with the tarball for more info.
