No problem. It happens. 

Assuming I have the time, I will be looking into using the other bootable CD 
spec over the next couple days. I will be testing its compatibility with 
VirtualBox. If it goes well, we may switch over to using it instead of the El 
Torito Spec version. Unfortunately, that would require anyone using a 
pre-Pentium II to use the boot floppy. But, they should have one. Maybe, if 
testing goes well we will do two versions, FD12CD.iso and FD12LGCY.iso (for 
legacy hardware). We will see.

Jerome.
