Hi,
I didn't know where else to post this.
Want a bootable cd with perl,
your scripts, the entire perl5 lib,
and Midnight Commander?
Go to:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mkcdrec/
and download mkCDrec_v0.6.0.tar.gz

then follow these additional instructions.
1. Untar the package and cd to the mkcdrec directory.

2. mkdir 'utilities'

3. copy the entire /usr/lib/perl5 directory to
mkcdrec/utilities/perl5

4. Edit the Config.sh at(or near) line 325 where
a section called 'Links=' is started.
Add a link like this:
/usr/lib=perl5=/cdrom/utilities/perl5

5. You can copy as many of your utilities as
you want to this utilities directory, and
make links. However, it is easier to do the
next step.

6. Goto Config.sh around line 224 where the section
called 'Binaries=' begins. Just add entries there,
like:
perl
perldoc
mycoolscript.pl
etc
etc.
This ends the perl part of the setup.

7. Goto the beginning of Config.sh and edit each
entry to suit your system.
For certain, specify LINUX_KERNEL that you wish to use.
Like:'/boot/vmlinuz.suse-2.4.4-4GB'
BURNCDR=y
SCSIDEVICE='0,1,0' ( or whatever you use for your system )
(cdrecord -scanbus will tell you)
etc, etc,etc
Don't ignore the line for DEVFS=0 , the cd won't boot
if you set this wrong. Set it to 1 only if your kernel
supports it.

8. Finally do a 'make test' to see how your Config.sh looks.
If all is well, do a 'make'; select option 1 (Rescue CD),
and your cd will be made.

9. Boot it, and start mc, I'm sure you can take it from there.
