Someone was playing with the idea to create bootable CDs some day, but i haven't heard anything from him for quite some time now. The `El Torito' bootable CD-ROM specification is terrible. They provide too many crocks for obsolete software that can only boot off either the first floppy or the first hard disk. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
