Hi Steve,
I believe he is talking about
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/301/i386/images/SL/boot.superduper.051004.iso
which is the install CD that Connie likes to make. It makes it so when you
need to burn a network install CD, you arn't just wasting a CD.
You can boot into any of the following
Scientific Linux Network Install (default)
Scientific Linux Rescue
Live FreeBSD
FreeDOS
LNX BBC
tomsrtbt (Tom's Root Boot)
Damn Small Linux - based on KNOPPIX
Recovery is Possible(RIP)
memtest86
GRUB
For more information you can read it at
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/301/i386/images/SL/README.superduper
