[plug] Partimage boot disk or cd

[Chris Caston]

Well I tried creating a cd using the iso that I downloaded from the
internet.

It seemed really cool but took a while to get into the system and seemed
quite unintuitive.

The Parted front-end was really cool but I could imagine my customers
watching me going through the whole Gentoo boot process not having a
clue on the planet what I was doing.

regards,

Chris
