I just wish I could've helped more but I've never built a release boot disk, and I'm just so busy with work and other projects, that I doubt I will be able to whip up a working IDE CDROM boot disk before the CD is pressed. If I do, however, you'll be the first to get a copy, and maybe if it is too late for the CDROM, at least it can go on the FTP site. By the way, just so I know, when IS the official release date for 2.1.0 (if it's not the 8th anymore)? ---Jake
