Well I finally got an LFS system installed. I'm working on getting XFree86 installed, lots of errors when compiling it. But for now I have a very basic LFS system, I wanted to put on a CD so that it could hold the entire system and boot up. Sort of like what I hear knoppix does. Of course I won't be able to write to it at all, but it'd be nice for being able to show off to my friends , any suggestions for how to do this?

Syslinux turned out to be my solution, well... the isolinux part of it. But I have to put root=/dev/scd0 for it to work on my computer, but some people have the cd-rom drive in /dev/hdb or someplace other than /dev/scd0, any ideas of how to get around this?

haha, i got it. I can just set the initrd.img file to go through all the /dev/hd{a,b,c,d} files and try to mount it as a iso9660 filesystem. it's working fine now except i'm not sure how to mount it as the root filesystem, linuxrc is a bit tricky... at least to me, maybe i'm stupid. i'm off to go play with it some more
