My 3.1 and 3.2 CD's boot fine. There's a known problem where 3.3 CDROM's don't boot on some (all?) IDE CDROM drives. It'll boot fine off SCSI CDROM drives, though. The workaround is to create the boot floppies, boot off them, and then install from CDROM. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
