I guessed the creation of the CD would be easy, syslinux doesn't know
and doesn't need to know anything about the individual Live CD's
included. I believed you just have VERY little free time for your
project (or, no at all). I couldn't guess updating the documentation
would be the problem.

Of course I'm willing to help. Two people can do much more than one, and
I can also avoid some work compared to the option I'd create a separate
project (I, too, don't have infinite free time, but my Christmas holiday
begins after a couple of days and I had already decided I don't let a
project as awesome as Clonezilla-SysRescCd die. :).

I don't need GRUB2 ASAP. I was just decided I won't wait any longer
without doing SOMETHING for speeding things up. (A side note: I'm still
using ext2 because there is no driver which would allow using ext4
within Windows - why I don't use ext3 is a separate subject. Ext2fsd got
the latest update in October, so I believe the developers don't need my
help [and I can't program anyway].)

BTW: Do you use IRC? An IRC conversation would be a much faster way to
discuss.

Jyrki
