SystemRescueCd 0.2.6 added the autorun script feature. It allows to run scripts
automatically at startup of the system. Each autorun script can manage a task. For
example, you can create a backup script that makes a backup of a database, another for
cleaning a system, ...
By default, the autorun script(s) may be copied in the root of the CDRom,
outside of the compressed loop image file (sysrcd.dat), but other sources are available :
floppy disk, HD partition, network share.
The script may be named ``autorun'' if alone. If many scripts have to be chained, you may
name them ``autorun0'', ``autorun1'',... . In this case, specific autorun scripts may be
allowed with an ``autoruns='' startup option given at boot time prompt. For example, you may
type ``fb800 autoruns=2,3,4''.
If you want to use floppy or network source for autorun files, you will have to specify
another special boot parameter to enable it. More on this in next section.
