'MkCDrec' makes a bootable CDs. Have look at it. It uses shells
scripts only. So, it's easy to understand. If you want, I can mail
you the initrd made by those scripts!

If you're using Debian, have a look at bootcd-mkinitrd package !

I suppose any live CDs based distributions (like knopix) do such
things too....


By the way, this is not the correct ML for these questions. Please
use a list based on your GNU/Linux distribution !
