Linux experts required

I'd like to make a restore DVD that auto-boots and mounts the DVD drive that it is in.
I then want it to either run a script manually, or automatically, to load the restore software on the DVD and restore from the computer hard drive image (also present on the boot DVD).
I've been trying to do this for quite a while and concluded that it requires a self-booting Linux DVD and a (probably fairly simple) Linux script file.
However, I'm not clever enough to do this without spending a significant amount of time improving my knowledge of Linux so I'd like to find a Linux guru who can do it for me.
I'm very happy to pay for a working solution.

Probably easiest to take an existing livecd (something like knoppix) and inject the program you want and your image onto it.
Relatively easy just mounting the iso file over loopback or using something like magiciso under windows.
Slap your script on and bosh.
The hardest bit will be figuring out what you're going to use for imaging? dd?

If you don't mind using Windows you could use BartPE with Ghost.

There is, ahem, another much better version with lots of cool software included. I can't link to it from here, but let's just say you'd have to be a demon to find it.

Slax together with restore software of your choice or Clonezilla live as a complete backup/restore solution should work for what you have in mind.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I've tried all of those and they're too much for what I want.
I just want a Linux boot, mount the DVD drive and then ask me what I want to run from the DVD.
I'll then add my backup software and image files to that iso.
Anyone willing to make a boot iso for some beer tokens?
If you're into Linux I would imagine you could do that pretty quickly.
