This is dead simple and works well. Altho Pascal seems to
indicate it can be done as user. For me that wouldn't work, but
as root 'mkrescue --iso' created a bootable image named
"rescue.iso" (3.2 mb)in the directory I ran the command from. I
burned it with 'biso rescue.iso'
(alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=12 dev=0,0,0 -dao')
tom # rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/mkrescue
lilo-22.5.7.2-6mdk
Besides being a boot CD for your currently running kernel, it
also provides some rescue options when you boot from it (similar
to booting the 1st Mandrake CD).

For those interested, you can make an iso image of a boot disk if
you are
using LILO with the following command:
/sbin/mkrescue --iso
then just cdrecord it
