[ale] making a bootable CD

[briarpatchkid at bellsouth.net (Jim Philips)]

I am having problems with both lilo and GRUB. So, I thought: "Make yourself a 
boot disk!" The only problem is that the image for my kernel no longer fits 
on a floppy. So, naturally, my thoughts turned to making a boot CD. But thius 
doesn't appear to be as straightforward as it could be. Does anybody have any 
good pointers to a page with instructions? The stuff I found with Google 
looked seeveral years old and way out of date.
