By the time number four was done I really had a close shave. That was
the problem. I seen the wording about inmages in the info I read but
never did it tell me to save convert the ISO files to image. Well today
I will try to install. Maybe it will be easier but I bet I have trouble
with it also. Do you know of a book or two that starts at the basics
and have info that is basic. I am starting at ground zero.
Thanks
