Basicly there are two options, save to a file or save to a partition. >From what I recall it does make it pretty clear which is which.

Yes, that's how I have it, you just have to edit the ini file to change it. If it's xebian then you have two cd's, one to create the linux system and one to boot if you *don't* go whole drive, just save/copy that the same way you would an app/game. Then you can link to it in the menu. Bios as mentioned is given as a choice but doesn't *need* to be installed. Druid > On Apr 12, 2005 12:16 PM, Joe Votour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.
