This sound very cool until you need to go read/write. As soon as you need a Dos partition you might as well boot from that.
Point well taken. It's just that if the requirement for a FAT32 partition exists on the computer, then everything else you need is on the CD. The one downside I see is that you'd have to modify fractint.cfg for your video board.
But the ultimate boot disk is cool, I'm going to have to make me one of those!
It IS way cool! Fair warning, though, many of the tools are advanced, so it's not the kind of thing where you want to randomly try things without knowledge - disk partition tools etc. However, it's set up so that if you have anything on a bootable floppy, you can add it to the CD. And making a double sized 2.88 mb "floppy" image is not too hard. This is what we'd need for fractint since it doesn't fit on a 1.4 mb floppy. Tim
