mkbootdisk can be passed options which can make ISO images that can be 
burned to CD and used to boot yor computer. The subject came up along 
time back and several tried it sccessfully, including myself. Since the 
subject is old, reading mkbootdisk info or man pages or searching the 
archives when Fedora first started using the 2.6 series kernels.

--iso  Instructs mkbootdisk to make a bootable ISO image as devicefile.
