[2] Why wouldn't a regular grub boot floppy with no kernel work? Granted - you'd have to tell grub how to boot manually (unless grub has a CD (x) type syntax - as they do with floppy drives) I'll look in the grub info page and see if I can figure something out - since my system doesn't boot from the CD's, I can test it. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/
