Usage

All the personalization is processed from the CDRom system with a script. This means you have to burn the official version, boot your computer from this official SystemRescueCd version, and then you are able to make your own version. The script needs to be run from the CDRom system, because it's easier to use this way. I am sure all programs are installed. If this script was designed to run from any linux installed system, you would have to install several programs, such as a module for the kernel, and it would be a lot more complex.
Here are the instructions to follow in order to make your own ISO image. We assume that the /dev/hda1 partition is formatted for linux (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, ...), and that it has at least 500 MB free.It must really be a linux diskspace, because other filesystem, such as FAT, NTFS don't supports symbolic links and files permissions. If you only have a FAT partition available, you can create a virtual linux filesystem image inside the FAT partition:

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/fat
# cd /mnt/fat
# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsimage bs=1M count=500
# mke2fs -F -q -N 50000 fsimage
# mount -t ext2 -o loop fsimage /mnt/custom

If you use the "cdcache" boot option, the original SystemRescueCd disc must be mounted when you run the first step (extract) of the script.
