First impressions are generally the most important. Would use it if I had some test bed to figure out what the hell I'm doing. I found the program unintuitive and cryptic. Maybe I need a manual next to me if I try it. Like i said, this was a binary iso build, so there was no possibility of merging anything. I just rely on the skill of the release people to do a good job on the iso. one thiing I found about burning iso's, you should do a complete erase of the CD,, a quick erase many times wont work. Thanks for the advice Rob --------------050303010106000409070301--
