Sandy,

I have the eCS 1.0 CD(s), which I could loan to you, perhaps at the next meeting.

I have a converse boot-from-CD issue that I don't understand. The last time I
tried to boot from the eCS install CD, there was no problem. I can boot just
fine from the Knoppix cd, and a Linux-based Win-32 "repair" CD (which
doesn't do what it claims to do -- at least on my system -- but it does boot up).
However, my W2K install cd will no longer boot. (It used to.) Hangs forever at
"Setup is inspecting your system." The W2K 4-floppy pre-install set, which
does exactly what the early stages of the CD does, still work fine. I have no
idea how / why one can lose the ability to boot from CD so selectively.
