    Greetings;

    I found the boot.iso image on FC2 Test2 disk1 and put that on a cdrw
    by itself, and it boots.

    Unforch, the opening 2-3 screens is as far as I can get as it insists
    on loading a driver for my scsi card, and I think the cdrom too but
    the messages aren't that informative. The cdrom is a 12x Creative,
    and is addressed as /dev/hdc in my present 2.6.5-mm6 boot.

    My scsi card is an advansys ABP-930U, a decent card I'm not about to
    spend $100+ to replace with an adaptec (spit) that is its equal.
    Obviously there isn't a driver for it in the boot.iso.

    So at this point, I'm faced with either a no install, or to simply
    mount the disks in order, cd to the RPMS dirs and do an "rpm -Uvh
    *.rpm", which somehow seems a bit like playing russian roulette with
    a fully loaded weapon.

    How should I proceed? Can I start the whole thing with the autoexec
    script on disk1? If so, howto exec it correctly? It doesn't offer
    to be run when mounting the disk, and dbl-clicking on it simply
    brings it up in a shell as text (if I'm in X, using konquerer).
