Have you tried unetbootin? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ I've only used the Linux version. Some ISOs do work and some others I had problems with. I had zero issues with the Debian rescue and net install images (I only install a new Debian via net install), and I've had success with various Xubuntu versions. > Actually, I tried VirtualBox but it was missing a soft-router that > would enable me to put the guest-OS behind the host's firewall and the > VB developers didn't want to write a soft-router even though I found > open-source code that could be adapted.

As I understand it, VB enables a bridge to the local host, at least my VM installations do by default. It sits well behind the kernel firewall. Now, on MS Windows that may be a different story. I don't know. The VMs get a 10.x.x.x address while my LAN has 192.68.x.x addresses. All that said, I've not used VM Player, so I can't compare them. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
