I added a bonus to
ftp://linux21.fnal.gov/linux/scientific/301/i386/images/SL/
I made a "superduper" version of the boot.iso . The name is
boot.superduper.051004.iso
The README.superduper contents
--------------------------------
Scientific Linux Super Duper Install/Rescue CD Version 3.0.1 May 10, 2004
cd-r/cd-rw requirements
This iso image requires a cdr/cdrw that can hold at least 210MB. The small
8cm cdr/cdrw products available come in either 185MB or 210MB sizes. You
need the 210MB size to hold this image. Memorex sells a product called
"Pocket CD-R" which is available in the 210MB size. You could always use
the standard size cd-r/cd-rw. Note that since this is a iso image if you
use a "Windows" system to burn the cdr you should select "image burn".
FEATURES
Installation of Scientific Linux 3.0.1
This cd image was designed to install Scientific Linux.
To install Scientific Linux 3.0.1 just boot the cd and either press
return or wait for the timeout of the boot loader.
Rescue Modes
We have added some popular images to this cd. There are "rescue",
utilities
Other OS
We have added FreeBSD and FreeDOS images.
SUPPORT
No support intended or implied. These are as is. Please look at and read
the info at the respective web sites for each product for more info. They
are only here because I had space on this cd .

Description: Small Linux system for the purpose of system
booting or repairing, a boot/rescue system.
It has PCMCIA/LVM2/RAID and Ethernet/cable/dsl/ppp/pppoe
networking support!
It has large file support, you can use all the programs
for files larger than 2GB! The programs e2fsck, mke2fs, and
tune2fs have ext3 filesystem support.
It includes the fat16/32, ext2/3, reiserfs, and ntfs
partition resizing programs 'parted, ext2resize, resize2fs,
resize_reiserfs, ntfsresize'.
It also includes the partition image program 'partimage'
which saves partitions in the ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs,
xfs, ufs, ntfs, fat16, and fat32 formats to an image
file. Only used blocks are copied to save space and
increase the speed. The image file can be compressed,
in gzip or bzip2 formats.
It also includes the 'mc' file manager!
It has support for these filesystems.
ext2 <Linux filesystem, read-write>
ext3 <Linux filesystem, read-write>
hfs <MAC OS filesystem, read-write>
hpfs <OS/2 filesystem, read-write>
iso9660 <Cdrom filesystem + joliet extensions, read-only>
jfs <Linux filesystem, read-write>
minix <Minix filesystem, read-write>
msdos <Dos filesystem, read-write>
nfs <Network filesystem, read-write>
ntfs <Windows NT filesystem, read-write>
qnx4 <QNX4 filesystem, read-only>
reiserfs <Linux filesystem, read-write>

umsdos <Linux DOS filesystem, read-write>
vfat <Win9x filesystem FAT16 and FAT32, read-write>
xfs <Linux filesystem, read-write>
The kernel is version 2.6.5, it has support for IDE
and SCSI hard drives.
You need at least 128MB of RAM and a 486DX CPU to boot it.
Some of the programs it contains (partimage/partimaged, parted,
dump/restore, reiserfsck, fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk, mke2fs, e2fsck,
tune2fs, debugfs, mkfs.xfs, jfs_mkfs, jfs_fsck, xfs_repair,
