While that knoppix tip may product a functioning boot disk, it does not answer my question.

I use debian, and I was wondering if there was a debian utility or program or command I could use to make a bookdisk.

I have already tried:
mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22
and "mindi" which I tried with both it's own kernel and my own. I used the "best configuration for lilo".
