If > you can devise a good way to pick the synth to use, let us know. Actually I have an idea here. But I don't have all the needed knowledge. If one can make a boot floppy that allows for a selection of kernels to load, then it shouldn't be too hard. Or one could reley on booting to the dreaded dos with cdrom drivers. Then launch loadlin with the appropriate kernel image from there. The other thing one could do is to make several ISO images for CDs based on which synth was being used. If concerned about the size of download, one could only include a minimum of stuff for the installation. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net
