Hi folks. I need to install CRUX on a machine whose ATA controller is not supported by the kernel on the standard install CDROM. I have a kernel that works on this machine but I'd like to make a custom install ISO, as I have several identical systems. However, I don't know how to create a custom installation CDROM...can anyone point me to a quick how-to? Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

Thanks for the very fast replies, Ronny and Markus...Commercial software NEVER has support this good! I am going to sleep now but will do this tomorrow. Thanks again. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

I suppose one could also use UnionFS, which I only mention because it's something I would like to play with, first or later...

In a somewhat related question, does anybody have an idea what the minimum Crux install base is? I mean...What packages make up the fewest that I would need to in order to boot Crux, have networking dl tools (sftp or scp, wget or curl), and still be able to install precompiled packages. ronny kornexl
