ok I found these step on how to make a bootable image:
Code:
$ cd /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc
$ dd if=stage1 of=image.img bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
$ dd if=stage2 of=image.img bs=512 seek=1
153+1 records in
153+1 records out
$
But is this correct and if it is will I be able to freely add files afterwards?
