Should boot discs be updated?

As program updates occur, when is it necessary or advisable to update the boot discs?

 

I always keep a copy of the installation file and boot rescue CD of the build number that I know works well with my setup.

Updates will usually have more/better hardware support plus a number of GUI improvements and bug fixes. I therefore create a current image, download and install the latest build and create a new bootable rescue CD. After thorough testing I decide whether to stick with the new build or revert to the previous one.

So you're saying that the boot discs use an "updated" version of the program, not a default "safe" version like Drive Image used to do.

 

Hi, rdgrimes

Yes that what Menorcaman is saying, the latest build BootCD when made will have all the latest

Hello rdgrimes,

Indeed I am. Apart from anything else, an updated boot rescue CD (which is Linux based) will contain more and better Linux device drivers. Therefore there is a fair chance that it will fix some problems being experienced by certain users.
