We've asked Dell for the Red Hat and Windows upgrade CDs. Because they're CDs, and we're not dealing with old Apple or Sun machines, they will almost certainly be in the standard 9660 format. Will there be a file there that's just a straight byte-by-byte image of the sectors of a bootable upgrade floppy? (I hope so; in that case, I could take it to nearly any machine -- including a DOS machine with rawrite or fdimage -- and make a diskette.) --Brett
