Sorry to jump in on this thread with an ever-so-slight divergence: I too noticed that dic2 was labeled livefs (or something closely akin to that). Does this mean that disc2 is a knoppix-style bootable live OS?? I burned it anyway, admittedly not fully understanding why I was doing this. [slightly ashamed look] I guess I figured that what I didn't then know, I'd learn later. FTR anecdotally, my experience burning disc 2 was entirely different from what was reported above. On a P3 850/512MB the dic took maybe 4-5 minutes to assemble, then the usual time to burn. Blissfully unremarkable in that respect. :-)
