Title: How to make a boot profile permanent?
Tags: linux;boot;livecd
Question: I have a Finnix live CD. I can customize it by remastering it. When I boot with the live CD I need to make a little change in the boot profile

The boot profile before making the changes is

```
  linux apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt quiet
```

The boot profile after making the change become

```
  linux apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt quiet root=/dev/sr0
```

Now, I need to make this change (adding root=/dev/sr0) permanent. How can I do that?


Here is the accepted answer: Find isolinux.cfg in your CD file system (mounted at /mnt/hda1 in your remastering guide).
In this file there is a line like

```APPEND apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt quiet
```

edit it like you want before launching stage1 and stage2 scripts.
