Ok. Then I'm wondering why the boot.img is telling me it can't find the
cd image on my hard drive. I have standard IDE disks on a VIA -686A
motherboard.
Another question. I'd like to be able to make a set of real CD's both
for 7.0 and rawhide. Is anyone willing to share the magic that builds
cd's from an image of the ftp site? I do it often for with 6.2 +
updates, but the multi-cd set is beyond me.
