Did you notice that the location of the 'boot.img' file is specified
relative to the location of the directory containing the files you're
creating the image from?
For instance, I ripped the image from the 1st RH 8 CD and loop mounted
it at /mnt/tmp. I then told X-CD-Roast that the directory it was to
create the image from was at /mnt/tmp. I then told it the boot image was
at 'images/boot.img'. As it is relative to the directory it is creating
the image from, the full REAL path would be '/mnt/tmp/images/boot.img'.
If the boot.img file was in my home directory, the path would become
'../../home/jgribbin/boot.img'.
