That would be good information to have. Right now, the ISO's are on an old
notebook drive that I've got running in one of those USB adapters.

My goal is eventually to install FC1 under VMWare Workstation. WMWare makes
it easy to use the ISO's, but I'd certainly appreciate having the
information to do the same thing without VMWare present on the machine.

Thanks again,

Greg
