But this is with F8, so I do not know if that helps with FC2. One other thing to keep in mind when testing - some systems will not boot from CD if there are 2 CD/DVD drives in the system at the same time. I think it is getting kind of rare now, but I do run into it once in a while. I hope this helps... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
