[plug] Partimage boot disk or cd

[Chris Caston]

Well I have figured out how to recreate the iso and make it boot I
assume I will need to post to one of their forums and hopefully get a
response that I can understand...

Anyway I found a work around there is a boot option for the rescue cd
called "cdcache" which loads the rescue CD into RAM. I will be able use
this to keep the cd-rom drive free for the iso image.

regards,
