The first track (of the first session), i assume... but that's not surprising at all, since this *is* the first bytes you can read off a CD-ROM. Everything else (before this) is CD metadata, which is neither CD-ROM nor CD-DA, but is required to provide lead-in frames etc. I didn't expect them to declare the last CD-DA track being the one you're going to boot from. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
