Universal Boot Disk
Hi,
I was just wondering if there exists a Universal Linux Boot Disk , which we can use to boot into ANY linux system, irrespective of the fact how the disks are distributed.
Thankx in advance...

I've never tried this, but in theory (or at least in my theory), so long as you can boot into a Linux system, you should be able to chroot to the correct place and (tel)init away to get your system up... or am I missing something?
