>Can't Carbon Copy Cloner and some other backup software make bootable CD's

For making a minimal boot disk, there was a free utility called Das Boot, but I don't know if it is still maintained. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
