Obviously you need some kind of writable media, preferably one that can 
be hard-protected. 3.5" Floppydisks are ideal for this situation because 
they all come with a write-inhibit switch.

I used Nero before on my old Bering distro but couldn't make it work 
with the uClib version. Use mkisofs from the cdrecord project and get 
isolinux from the syslinux project. Don't put anything on the iso that 
you don't want to use, including the bootdisk.ima which would only be 
usefull if you use some El Torito scheme. You cannot use El Torito 
however since this is based on floppy emulation and will conflict with 
the actual floppy drive.

This is how I created mine:

==
   D:\cdrtools\mkisofs -o bering.iso -b isolinux.bin
                       -c isolinux.cat -no-emul-boot
                       -boot-load-size -boot-info-table
                       -hide isolinux.cat -hide isolinux.bin
                       -l diskcontent
==

isolinux can be found here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php

(which is my actual config)
