Re: AdvanceCD Does Not Boot

I have seen this with other projects.  Check a couple of things...make sure 
you burnt to a CD, not a DVD.

Also, download the newest ISOLinux from here:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX
Old versions of ISO linux were...uh...old and didn't work on DVD's...it also 
didn't work well on some CD's.  Replace the relevant updated ISOLinux bits 
in the AdvanceCD unzip and everything will probably work...even on a DVD. 
This has worked great on other projects even when the project was only 
designed for CD.  I haven't tried it on AdvanceCD...but I bet everything 
will "just work".

I assume you can boot other CD's from this machine, so it is not a BIOS 
limitation, correct.  for me.
