How To Create A Boot CD

1. Each installed kernel has a dedicated subdirectory for its modules in the /lib/modules directory. Get a listing of this directory. Here there are two installed kernels; versions 2.6.51.358custom and 2.6.8-1.521.
[root@bigboy tmp]# ls /lib/modules/ 2.6.5-1.358custom 2.6.8-1.521 [root@bigboy tmp]#

2. Select the desired kernel and use the mkbootdisk command to create a CD ISO image named /tmp/boot.iso of one of the kernels, in this case 2.6.8-1.521:
[root@bigboy tmp]# mkbootdisk --iso --device /tmp/boot.iso \ 2.6.8-1.521
