True, but you can remove the CD as soon as the initrd is done loading, when you see the first Linux kernel initialization messages. That is what I do... > has this been addressed in newer releases or is this to > come in the future? No, and since you eventually have to eject the CD anyway, the current approach minimizes total effort. So I kind of like it the way it is. But I don't care that much; if this bothers enough users, we can change it. > OR! > how difficult would it be for me to do this myself? Not too hard... You need to edit the isolinux.cfg file on the CD-ROM to display a menu and let you choose what to boot. The DOS boot disk already does something like this, so you can use it as a template. Download unattended-4.6-dosboot.zip and take a look at bootdisk/iso/isolinux/isolinux.cfg. Also read the SYSLINUX documentation (http://syslinux.zytor.com/). If you come up with a complete procedure, send instructions here and I will add a link in the FAQ. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
