Language selection: think I fixed that last night. Bottom selection: decided to keep things easy this time, without ISO inside CD/ISO. Easily enough added again, the UPDATE batchfile which is on the A: part (\ISOLINUX\FDBOOT.IMG) creates the inner ISO (which is uploaded as TEST2) followed by the outer ISO (which I uploaded as TEST1 earlier) on ramdisk (64MB required at least). After modifications followed by creation of both ISOs, you can decided for yourself which ISO to copy to harddisk. > > But, nevermind. [Smacks self in forehead...] hehe.

CD-ROM driveletter can be altered if you want: option 1: SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001,X option 2: SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001 /L:X Your drivers taking over early driveletters is something I can't help, no experience with the USB drivers you mention. A commercial/trialware USB stack is at http://www.georgpotthast.de/usb/ , might work, or not. Worked for me yet lacks functionality and disables USB legacy stuff so I ended up with a non-functioning keyboard till reboot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
