However, what the hell, I'll do it. Oh, and I keep forgetting that I have a few DVD-RW's around so there's still the option of keeping one at hand. It sucks that most products available in the U.S. now are made in China, esp. electronics. Mind you (5h1t, I'm going off on a tangent/rant again!) I have nothing against other cultures, but it sucks to have to rely on poorly-made stuff produced by hard-working people laboring under hideous working conditions under a repressive government. </rant> I'll try unebootin again.
