first, I apologize for hi-jacking, but this reminds me of something I've 
been wondering about for a while now. Some time back RedHat moved away 
from being able to make boot floppies to boot their installations. What 
the heck did they do that for? I had a dickens of a time getting RH9 and 
FC3 on my toshiba laptop because it has a USB CD/CDRW drive. I had to 
get REAL creative to get it loaded.
