    Not even remotely close; you really need to read that image you
burned for the release notes.  And when you start the thing, on the
first pass when it asks you if you want to test the disk, do so. It's
boring and such, but by doing so you could save a lot of trouble.  And,
then you'll know if it's safe to hand to friends.  :)

   There's scads of that stuff; there's like three burners I can think
of off the top of my head, but I can't fully answer this particular
question.  Can anyone else?

   Good luck; you have my AOL/ICM/etc; if you get stuck drop me a line.
