Removing the trustcleaner Virus (Adware program)
Please refer to the URL ,
http://www.superantispyware.com/definition/wschtm35/
This uses the DLL , WSCHTM35.DLL. This is stored in the temporary directory (%TEMP%)
use the procexp to locate the substring.
I found that this process is owned by the explorer.
Uninstall the software first and then
Write a batch which first kills the explorer.exe and then delete the file WSCHTM35.DLL.
And delete the corresponding registry entries.

Create DVD Install media from RedHat 4 CD's
This article explains how to create the Redhat Installable DVD from the CD's.
1. Create a directory say
/tmp/RHAS4
cd /tmp/RHAS4
2. Insert the RHAS CD1 first
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=rhas2.iso
3. Insert CD2 , 3 and 4 etc
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=rhas2.iso
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=rhas2.iso
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=rhas2.iso
4. Copy the script below , with the name as "mkdvdiso.sh".
or get the script from the location
http://www.stams.strath.ac.uk/~sergei/files/mkdvdiso.sh

#/bin/bash
# by Chris Kloiber <ckloiber@redhat.com>
# Slight adaptation for Mandrake by Sergei Zuyev <sergei@stams.strath.ac.uk>
# Requires package mediacheck
# A quick hack that will create a bootable DVD iso of a Mandrake Linux
# Distribution. Feed it either a directory containing the downloaded
# iso files of a distribution, or point it at a directory containing
# the "Mandrake", "isolinux", and "images" directories.
# Usage:
# mkdvdiso.sh /path/to/the/cd/isos /destination/dvd.iso
# Burning on oka:
# /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=/destination/dvd.iso -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -speed=2
# This version only works with "isolinux" based Red Hat Linux versions.
# Lots of disk space required to work, 3X the distribution size at least.
# GPL version 2 applies. No warranties, yadda, yadda. Have fun.

5. Run the command as ,
mkdvdiso.sh /tmp/RHAS4 /tmp/RHAS4/rhas4dvd.iso
6. The above command should create the DVD ISO image
7. Transfer the DVD ISO Image to windows machine and create the DVD
