If you meant BootIt NG (BING), you don't actually need DOS or Windows to make the diskette. You can create the floppy disk by just copying the raw image (DISKIMG3.DAT) included in the downloaded zip file with a command such as 'cp DISKIMG3.DAT /dev/fd0' And making a bootable CD is just a matter of using that same file as the boot image while creating the ISO file with 'mkisofs', or of course you can also do that from xcdroast etc. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
