I haven't used syslinux or isolinux before, so please excuse newbie questions. Is there a way to execute commands from the command prompt automatically? The reason I'm asking is I'd like to make a bootable restore CD that will be fully automated. I don't want the end user to have to do anything other than insert the CD and boot.

Another option is set the init=[start program] kernel option, i.e. at the boot prompt or in the syslinux config file. As an example: mykernel init=/bin/bash would start a bash right after loading the kernel. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9d3zhvgjqR9suK90RAgCvAKC+AjUlECbefC3ZFvzsm/eNbI78UACfb7cN WCA+uQwYAJ7UsWOZYyu+1j4=9jMJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
