I haven't taken a close look at the site and haven't even used bootit for
quite some time but I would think the boot disk would simply provide a means
of accessing an image file or executing a command that then restores the
image file from a specific location. I don't think there's any compression
they could use that would fit an entire image file on a disk unless the boot
disk was a CD as opposed to a floppy disk.
