Hello g4jht, have you gotten any response on this topic ? I am quite interested. My question is Debian related in that I am trying to build a bootable memory stick to drop a Debian system onto an old Macintosh laptop. I do not know what the command or command sequence is to transfer the system into a(ny arbitrary) memory device and make it a bootable system. An answer to you is an answer for me too. Thank you.

Hi, I am sending this to you guys in a sort of last resort desperation.
As it only relates to Debian as that is my current build environment.
Help Please.
My problem how to build a bootable iso image file (not of Debian)
I have an iso file [for an early version of UNIX (x86_32 code)]. I have
stripped the files into a directory, then copied them (via tar) into my
iso build directory, made my modifications I am OK up to that point.
My Question is:
How do I create a new bootable iso image file from my build directory
ready for burning onto a DVD.
I tried just burning the build directory tree but did not boot (I
suspected as much but did it anyway).
I am obviously missing as step maybe tools. target is a 486 bare machine
and a P6 machine in both cases without an O/S, what on the DVD will
eventually end up on the HD, once the DVD "works".
Any help appreciated, and I know this sort of an oddball question.
[please CC me directly with your solution, thank you.
regards, Dave :-) (Ps not a newbie).
