Is the CD from Watnut Creek supposed to be bootable?  Or am I just lucky (can't be, there's got to be a reason!)?  I find that I can boot directly from the CD even though I don't have the El Torito (don't know what that is exactly) which WinNT 4.0 requires to boot from CD.  I don't find that "feature" documented anywhere.  Has anyone else had this before?
