Helix

    Using the Gnome CD Writer which is working well now, I made a Helix 
CD Rom and tested it. I watched as the tester ran through the things on 
the disk and it is really nice. It is a Knoppix type of construction 
much like the Fedora "Live F7" and the earlier one that brings up linux 
and then my favorite Amateur Radio software gmfsk. It actually works!

    Now I want to get the Fedora CD image and see how it compares with 
Helix. I am right now wondering how much better Helix is than the simple 
rescue mode on the F7 DVD? I think the answer is that Helix has some 
binaries that begin XP this and that and have .exe extentions.

    Helix works and it needs an expert to run it.
