I started a thread a couple months back on cdrom booting. Since then I discovered that even though my motherboard's bios indicates that they support cdrom booting, they don't. Plus management has lost interest in booting to CD, for now anyway. I might be able to drum up a little support for it in the future. The gist of that thread was that the El-Torito spec was done in the true pc-hardware style.. a pile of crap. It provides several ways of making a CD bootable, ranging from `total hackery' to `the right way'. Now doesn't that sound familiar wrt specs? ;-) > > Peter > >-- > Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds > Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key > Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object! > eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@rrnet.com
