I definitely did!. <br> <br> You may also need to get the latest version of mkhybrid to work with slink_cd - some older versions will not cope with the way the slink CDs are laid out and there are some really broken versions out there. The current version in slink appears to work fine, but in case you have an older version here are pointers to get a newer one. And if you want to use the sym-link farm method of creating CD images then you will need the patched version I'm using. <br> <br> - the main site for source is <a class="http" href="http://www.ps.ucl.ac.uk/~jcpearso/mkhybrid.html">http://www.ps.ucl.ac.uk/~jcpearso/mkhybrid.html</a>, but at the moment I'm having trouble getting into it. <br> - the source: mkhybrid-1.12a4.7.tar.gz <br> - a statically linked i386 Linux binary (the one I'm using): mkhybrid.bz2 <br> <br> If all this sounds like too much effort for you, you may want to try downloading the official images instead.
