What I know for sure based on sighted assistance is that if I attempt to boot disk 1, the text "boot from CD" flashes for a few seconds, and then the system falls back to booting Windows. My first thought was that my boot sequence was messed up, but the boot.iso works just fine. Weird. If I have the same problem with disk 1 of the regular set, maybe I'll try booting it from the other rom on this machine to see if it makes a difference. --Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
