I am running CentOS 5.5 and I want to create a boot CD so that if my boot partition is moved I can still boot from the boot CD and re-initialize grub again. Is there some easy to use utility which will enable me to do this ?

The first centos CD or DVD has a rescue mode, just type on the boot screen:
linux rescue

There's also LiveCD, peek a mirror and get the live iso, depending on your platform chose i386 or x86_64
/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso

# mkbootdisk --device bootdisk.iso --iso `uname -r` # cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -v speed=8 -gracetime=0 -sao \ dev=/dev/cdwriter bootdisk.iso
