a bootable CD/DVD. This partition or CD/DVD supports enough facilities
to fully manage and recover your system.

partitions (and thus can be seen as a replacement of bootOS2);

supported;
- Easy configuration via configuration files (almost everything is
configurable);
- Interactive build of configuration files;
