Booting from a floppy.After I specify the vfat partition it finds the iso files but never does it do a mediacheck so I verify the md5. I had to do an external check. I well aware of the fact of NTFS but what I am saying is that it should be supported since win2000 and XP users will probally be using that format and not the older. I do not have a external monitor. I did find LCD support under the "Generic" catatgory.
