The the files in this directory are provided as an example of how I got
the pebble distribution and NoCatAuth to run from a CDROM. These are
just snapshots and there is no additional documentation.

Files:
-------------
isokernel.tgz - This is the kernel and modules from the pebbleCD.iso.bz
file below along with the isolinux/ directory. Adding
these files to pebble distribution should provide a good
starting point for creating your own pebbleCD. You will
probably need to edit the isolinux/isolinux.cfg file to
specify the proper device for your CDROM. This kernel
was built on a RH9.0 system from the 2.4.22 sources
obtained at www.kernel.org.
pebbleCD.iso.bz - A snapshot of my pebbleCD development. It uses the
kernel and isolinux files from the isokernel.tgz file.
Warning: I don't expect this to work on almost any
other system! Use with caution.
Note: the root password for this image has been lost.
I am using this CD on a GQ system from Fry's (their
$199 networking special). It has a 30Meg hard drive
(used only for development) and is based on the P6VEM3
motherboard. The processor is a VIA C3.
The 'internal' network port is a D-Link DFE-530TX+
connected to a Netgear MR814v2. The DHCP server in the
MR814v2 was turned off. I connect the DFE-530TX+ to
one of the LAN ports on the MR814v2.
Uncompress this file with bunzip2 and then use any
CD burner software to create a CD from the image.

Detailed step-by-step instructions on how to create a bootable CD. I
used this to get started, but found that a RAM disk was not needed
for pebble (pebble uses the tmpfs instead). Still, there is a lot of
good information on this page. WARNING: don't use the '-r' argument
to mkisofs. The -r argument changes the file permissions on the CD
image and thereby causes all kinds of problems (some of which are
worked around in this document).
