Hi Ginnie ;-),


I googled for "creating a bootable linux cdrom" and the following links
looked good:

www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.html
www.geocities.com/potoato.geo/bootlinuxcd.html
www.linuxgazette.com/issue54/nielsen.html

As a stop gap you could re-master an exisiting LiveCD distro and put
your install tar file onto the CDROM and install from there.
