I downloaded and burned the ISOs and tested it on two machines as well
without problems.  However,I am, as I am sure you understand, a bit
cautions about sending them to press with people saying they are having
problems.

I tested them on a Pentium 133 and a Dual Athlon 1500+.  Maybe it's a
problem on older machines?

Anyone else run into anything?
