Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. i'm currently running Windoes XP and can't
successfully create the boot disk using rawrite. But Thanks for the
suggestion. BTW, are their any plans to update the ISO with at least the
current kernels from kernerl.org?  Or are we going to just use Woody?

Note that this machine's BIOS does support booting off the CD.  Do any of
you have any suggestions?  BC I'm anxious to get Linux on this box and
totally do away with the NTFS filesystem which presently occupies one of the
two HD's.  The second is just a standard FAT filesystem.  This is a 166MHZ
box with 64MB of RAM and one 1.6 and one 2.6GZ HD.  Thanks for any help that
anyone of you could provide.  This also has an internal DoubleTalk PC coard.
To write the ISO's, I used EZ CD Creator under Windblows.
