  Sheesh, that don't leave much.  What good is a live CD that can't
actually boot on 99% of the computers out there?

  Yikes!!!

  Note to self: Avoid CentOS live discs.

  Thanks for the info.  At the very least, you may have saved me from
a potential disaster.  I almost went down that road with the GNHLUG
server last week; now I'm glad I didn't.  I would have hit that
problem for sure.
