How does one create > such a CD? I am doing that as I read your post. The Ignite-UX toolkit available on software.hp.com has the tools to do this. See make_medialif. I make a HFS file images that have Ignite golden images and SD software depots. make_medialif creates the LIF file with the INSTALL boot and Ignite config stuff. The instl_combine command wraps the LIF file containing the INSTLALL kernel and INSTALLFS filesystem around my HFS image file. I then use cdrecord to write the whole enchilada to CD-R.
