Hi Woody --

I thought an ISO was a bit copy of a CD.  So, if the CD was bootable, the new CD would 
be also.  I talked to Stan last night and he thought so too.  I'm using Easy Creator 4 
in Windows.  Am I wrong about ISOs?

I'll check the readme.  Thanks.

I like Slackware because, like you said, it's rock stable.  We build servers and fire 
walls and Slack is the cleanest.  I don't have much experience with desktop stuff and 
after watching Seth and Mike solve various problems at the Thursday meetings, I wish I 
had time to dive into it.  There are so many really cool things you can do and, the 
way Linux and X are structured, I can see and understand how and why it works.  It's a 
lot harder to "get under the hood" in Windows.

Thanks again.
Bob

Hi Bob --

If you'll check the readme file in the ".eltorito" directory of the S7
distribution, there are all the explicit instructions you''l need. I
think S7 is the best overall distro for my tastes and have been a
satisfied slacker for 4 years now. It is rock stable with the 2.2.13
kernel. I have just gone to the 2.2.14 kernel and have some
instabilities. Unknown if it's the kernel yet. 

I do like a lot of the "extras" included with the Mandrake 7 distro
though. S7 does include the rpm as unsupported in the distro, so you can
install RH or M7 packages easily. I still much prefer pkgtool. YMMV. Let
me know what you think.

Also, I can help with most config issues also should you have questions.

Woody
