Hmm, never booted from a cd since years, as netbooting (via dhcp/tftp) is
working so great. What are the problems why the netbooting stuff is not updated
on debian.org any more ?

Probably I could extract the kernel image and the initial ramdisk and
cat them together, if I know the name of files to take from the cd image.

Thanks,
