Bacula relies on its temp directory for other interesting functions too, |
| 7 |
it can build a bootable ISO using your running kernel, for example. |

I've written a little page in my personal wiki with an HOWTO for Gentoo |
| 10 |
to build a bootable cdrom using Bacula scripts, next week I can provide |
| 11 |
an english translation if anyone interested. |
