Can someone point me to some information on how to create a bootable CD
(iso image) like this 3.2-release.iso, I know have to use mkisofs or
mkhybrid, but be a good idea to look at more information on how to use
this commands. Also to create a bootable CD complete system (so I don't
need a hard disk, or use this to have dumped filesystems to restore them).

Is there a way to create a 2.88 floppy image (like the one to boot 3.x
installation procedures) but without having a 2.88 floppy? This to make a
boot image for some CDs with more information than the 1.44 ones?
