small problem, I would have to have a working linux system to use that tool (unless there happens to be a windows version). right now, the only way I can get linux working on here is via USB stick. I don't have a working DVD drive for either machine nor do I have any external media other than a USB stick or 2. see the problem here?

>> hmmm. I wish I could get that far. I have a windows machine (and this mac), but I can't get either to make a bootable USB stick because the 1 tool needed is bloody inaccessible. the tool is Unetbootn and its nothing but graphics in windows (tested with 3 screen readers there) and all but invisible to voiceover on my mac.
