Subrosasoft's DasBoot

SubRosaSoft has announced DasBoot - a great little utility that turns an iPod or flash drive into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair and maintenance tool.

DasBoot allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities you may wish to install.

With DasBoot you can use your iPod to boot and repair any Mac and the best part: DasBoot is free to download, and may be freely distributed.
