I remember seeing this some years back when CD was accesses through SCSI emulation driver cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=1,0,0 -pad -data bdiemc_disk1.iso For installation disks I usually select slwoer speed. That works better with older CD drives. However, the easiest I find is K3b utility that you can install in Linux if you don't have it already. K3b is very good handling everything from CDs to 8GB DVDs. > Also, can one use this *.iso to create a dual-boot system?

It won't know that you are going to install DOS in some partition. You can edit grub menu later after installing DOS. The best of course is to install proprietary OS first then Linux. I suggest using a separate small disk drive for DOS. They are cheap. Why not use DOS emulator? There are different ways to run DOS in Linux. dosemu, under qemu I believe, etc. > Thanks. > > -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
