Well OS isn't a terribly busy forum so I'm sure people will see it tommorow. It's a Saturday, and I can't get on here till late (I don't even get up till late afternoon on the weekends

).
The problem with those bootable disks though are that they're DOS based. FreeDOS is available even if you wanted to avoid MS, but I was/am looking for a completely linux based solution. I know it's nitpicky, but being a linux advocate I want to see this type of stuff. If it doesn't exist and there is some info it could also give me something challenging to write that would actually be usefull. It's hard to find a good idead for a program to write that hasn't already been done (well, a program within my skill level, which is a very odd mix of advanced yet limited knowledge. I guess that's the price of going through a university CS program. hopefully they'll go back on cover more general stuff like application design before I graduate. currently all we do is analyze and learn specific algorithms and data structures and such. technical, hard, and boring).
