We could do that.. they will need to use the first CD for base installation anyway. What's the point of booting from the second CD? Will it use syslinux instead of isolinux for old systems that cannot handle isolinux? The only other reason I can think of to have a second bootable CD is to make one without a logo, or with serial console support. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes - my impression with woody is that a number of machines out there cannot boot using syslinux. Apart from old machines, SCSI CD ROM drives seem to cause trouble.

torrents
Thank you for offering the torrents. It is smart to encourage more people to download this way. It is more communal. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it... you may want to keep the individual torrents but also include a complete directory torrent of 'all' the ISO's. Many of the folks leeching iso images are used to setting up a batch ftp and letting it fly. The usefulness of a single torrent for all 10 CD's will be apparent once folks know it is there. Then again I could be wrong... ;-) James P. Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opentorrent.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
