Re: Not Bootable from CD??

Hi, Ian--

Well, yes, but the idea here is to make a backup disc based on the startup
system for *that* machine...these CD's are all made based on the startup
system for the machine they are intended to boot. The reports are all from
folks who just tried booting the same machine from the same (smaller)
startup system they normally boot from.

All My Best,
Jeffrey
