As sometime the electricity goes and as I don't have a laptop and even
sometimes my brother wants to play games as I have a powerfull PC but
I can't just stop my ldraw work or what ever i'm doing for him to play
so as we have 3 pc's and I found on some webpage that had a cool boot disk.
One that had some files enought to boot win3.1 which means a boot disk with
a gui os. So I was thinking to make a boot disk with basic stuff to keep me
bussy ldrawing and rendering, yes I mean using pov-ray in ms-dos.
Now I think I need help to make this possible so please anyone that likes
this idea and/or know how to make a boot disk with ldraw and povray can help me.

I just remembered that ldraw lib is 25mb or more so I will use a CD for ldraw
dat files.

This is a list of wanr I use in this project.

ldraw and it's dat lib
I'll remove the useless files like txt and source codes of mklist..
L3p.exe only
Pov-ray "super reduced edition" I'll need help if someone thinks
                                It must be recoded and recompiled
                                as I don't know C or any other code

May be only basic boot files like autoexec.bat and want ever I need
                  I'm not sure

A text editor.

That's all I think
