-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One more thing I forgot to mention is that it's probably not a good idea to wait for the drive to stop spinning, because the boot loader most likely has a default time out. So, by the time your cd-rom stops spinning, the system may already have started to boot up, and probably be done with that by the time the drive stops spinning. I'd suggest that you wait 10-15 seconds after the drive starts spinning, and then start hitting tab, and so on. Hth.
