The perl-script will extract the initial/default boot image from a CD if
existant. It will not extract any of other possibly existing bootimages
that are allowed by the El Torito standard.
The imagedata are written to STDOUT all other information is written to
STDERR (eg type and size of image).
If you want to write the image to a file instead of STDOUT you can
secify the filename wanted on the commandline using option -o <filename>
Helpful for extracting Thinkpad BIOS updates so you can put them on a
usb stick to install......
I put it in archivers because we're extracting data out of a larger
container. sysutils would also make sense.
OK?
