A Linux HOWTO is at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.11 . I used that before to make a DOS-based version. Many of the newer CD burning packages for Windows make it a simple wizard-driven process (select files, point to bootable floppy image, etc.) More notes on El Torito (bootable) format at http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bootdisk-HOWTO/x1078.html as well. It took me a couple of tries to get the various combinations of format (Joliet + El Torito) down under Linux to allow long file names AND bootable. I have to confess I use EZ CD Creator to simplify it all now. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
