if your motherboard's bios supports booting from CD then you can boot from a cd drive. if not, then you can't. if it's really important to you, then you'll have to upgrade your motherboard (or upgrade the bios if you have a flash upgradeable one - unlikely, most of those can already boot from CD drives) craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
