Easy WORKAROUND for CDROM Boot Image insanity

Hi all!

I had the same problem regarding a non-bootable CD1.

But I discovered a workaround:

* burn boot.iso (~4.2Megs) on a CD
* run that CD and at the boot prompt insert FC2test2 CD1
   and type:

/isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

That worked for me so far and I'm now at the GUI welcome screen!
Off installing now ;-)

Cheers,
Hannes.
