Hi.
testing with vmware's vmplayer. trying to figure out how to mount the
autoinst.iso that it provides, to change the contents of the ks.cfg
file, and to then repack to the iso.
thought this was a simple mkisofs issue, but i appear to be missing something.
the cmds:
mount -o loop /apps/vmware/a1/autoinst.iso /mnt/vmtest
/bin/cp -Rf /mnt/vmtest/* /apps/vmtest/vm/.
sed -i 's/^telinit.*/telinit 0/' /apps/vmtest/vm/ks.cfg
cd /apps/vmtest/vm
mkisofs -o /apps/vmtest/autoinst.iso -b
/apps/vmtest/vm/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
/apps/vmtest/vm/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -J -R -V /apps/vmtest/vm
results in error of:::
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping
initial path separator. Hope this was intended...
genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory
'/apps/vmtest/vm/isolinux'!
