If you're burning discs, check this news out:

I can make bootable ISO images!

I finally got in touch with someone at Compaq who was able to determine
what the problem is and made a patch to fix it. Turns out there's a bug
in aboot's ISO code for dealing with pathnames over a certain length.
I've got a patch in hand to fix that. It'll probably be making its way
out as aboot-0.8 within a week or so.

After we get through this next huge pile of updates, I'll drop in this new
aboot for everyone to start playing with.
