Take a look at Mindi: http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/mindi/ It builds boot/root disk images using your existing kernel, modules, tools and libraries. Then it generates an iso image of a bootable CD. So just burn the Mindi iso image and you will have a bootable CD. The next step is Mondo, which is the companion to Mindi: http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ Mondo is a complete backup and restore of your system to bootable CD's I use both succesfully on my Debian and Slackware systems.
