Hi Jyrki

The problem with developing Clonezilla-SysRescCd is not all about creating the 
CD itself, but writing and checking the documentation (on and off-line)

Supposing the creation of a new CD takes three to four hours, writing the 
documentation may take up 10 times as much, and this is really hard for me to 
do, because of lack of time

In fact, during this whole year of inactivity, I have created (and used) newer 
("beta" -  aka no documentation) CDs, but I haven't released any of them just 
because the documentation was outdated. And bad or lack of off-line 
documentation for such a project is a show stopper for me

So, would you - or anyone else - be willing to help writing/updating/checking 
the documentation?

Regarding Super Grub2 Disk, well this should be relatively easy to do even 
with Clonezilla-SysRescCd 2.6. I could help you do it if you do need it asap 
:)

None that I know of...
