I'm looking to build a bootable CD to give to a friend along with a compu=
ter=20
that when booted will offer to overwrite the hard drive from a compressed=
=20
disk image. I looked on freshmeat, but didn't see anything well suited to=
=20
this. The box in question will have windows on it (They want windows, I d=
on't=20
feel like arguing). Anyone know of a project that can do this?

What about linux boot CDs that can easily be customized to run a shell sc=
ript=20
at boot time?

All the stuff i saw on freshmeat looked like it just restored files from =
a=20
backup.
