Please share this info about booting off a CDRW.....I am thinking about buying a internal CDRW drive for my ol Rev D, and I know booting off the CD is something that i'll need. :-( Also, could this mean that I could use a external USB CDRW to boot off of via OF???? Is this possible???? luvya and have fun, ~LordGilman _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
