Got Linux to boot! 1538
I was not looking for the root cause, but simply at the silliness of putting out a disk image that can not be read by the majority of your audience. To...

Oh, if recent older versions of Apple's utilities worked and the new ones do not I certainly would not blame the folks who make the ISO. I have seen nothing to suggest that is the case, however.
Burns your fingers, eh?
I do not like XP very much, but I teach it to college students - and teach on it when I am teaching other programs. I do not know all of the reg hacks that the real XP geeks know, but as far as general use I generally know it better than the XP fans in CSMA.

Even with Ubunto I found that one "bad" right click choice and things had to be "fixed". Sure, I broke it (well, played with it - others would see it as broken).
OK, I did not remove all bars... how would I get one back if I had? Would I have to open the drive and dig for a program somewhere?
And, of course, it is XP. That is a downside in itself. :)
Hey! I am the one being the smart butt... does not help if you and I both are...
