I guess neither of you read the RELEASE-NOTES? You can now use mkbootdisk to 
create a boot CD that boots into your current Linux version (just like boot 
floppy). The command is:
mkbootdisk --iso --device filename.iso `uname -r`

Replace `uname -r`with kernel version if you want to create a boot disk for 
other kernel than the one you are running.
