My Windows CD-Writer was braindead... probably thought it wasn't a bootable floppy because it lacked COMMAND.COM... :-( Had a friend with linux burn the floppy img file into a bootable CD. Installation worked like a charm. See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.html for instructions on turning the floppy .img file into an El Torito CD. Phil R Lawrence
