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 Troy Steve Traylen wrote: > On Sat, 3 Jul 2004, Raimo Koski wrote: > >> Looks interestingly like something I did a couple of years ago.
